When you want to mix EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and alternative rock in your songs, there are lots of fun ways to do it!

1. Structure
EDM usually has repetitive parts like build-ups and drops, while alternative rock has more varied arrangements. Here’s how you could put it together:

• Start with a classic rock verse.
• Build up to an EDM-style drop.
• Then, switch back to a softer part before hitting them with another big drop.

2. Instrumentation
Use a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds:

• Bring in electric guitars and live drums for that rock vibe.
• Add synths and electronic beats to make it feel like EDM.
• Try mixing real instruments in the chorus but keep the verses more electronic.

3. Melody and Vocals
Play with different vocal styles:

• Use strong, catchy melodies that are common in alt-rock.
• Add some electronic effects on the vocals, like pitch correction or vocoders, for that added twist.
• Layer your vocals with harmonies and extra melodies to give it more depth.

4. Tempo and Groove
Change up your tempos:

• Start with a classic rock beat and then shift into a faster electronic part.
• Think about switching between upbeat rock rhythms and chill electronic beats.

5. Lyrics
Alternative rock often has deep or story-driven lyrics. You can add this by:

• Writing lyrics that show the emotional side typical of rock music.
• Using catchy phrases that match the lively feel of EDM.

By putting these parts together, you can create a new sound that mixes the best bits of both genres and makes your music exciting!
