OUR STORY
Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing electronic dance music cities in the Southeast, with events happening somewhere in the city nearly every day. From intimate underground warehouse parties to sold-out festivals and everything in between, there's always something happening, but finding it all isn't always easy.
That's where Atlanta EDM comes in.
Founded in 2013, Atlanta EDM was created with one simple mission:
Bring Atlanta's dance music community closer together.
What began as a small online community has grown into one of Atlanta's largest independent electronic music platforms, helping thousands of fans discover concerts, festivals, local artists, venues, promoters, and unforgettable experiences throughout the city.
Today, Atlanta EDM is much more than an events calendar.
We connect the community through daily event coverage, breaking news, editorial features, photo galleries, ticket giveaways, exclusive discounts, social media, and partnerships with promoters and venues across Georgia. Whether you're attending your very first rave or you've been part of the scene for years, our goal is to make discovering Atlanta's dance music community as easy, and welcoming, as possible.
In 2024, we proudly co-created Beats On The Block alongside Connect Atlanta, a free recurring community event built around one simple idea: everyone deserves a place to enjoy dance music, meet new people, and feel like they belong. What started as a grassroots gathering has quickly grown into one of Atlanta's fastest-growing recurring electronic music events, reflecting everything Atlanta EDM stands for: community, inclusivity, creativity, and connection.
Along the way, we've had the privilege of working with incredible venues, promoters, artists, festivals, photographers, vendors, and community organizations that continue to help Atlanta's electronic music scene thrive. Their support, and the passion of thousands of music lovers, is what has allowed Atlanta EDM to grow year after year.
More than a decade later, our mission remains the same.
To support local artists and event organizers.
To help fans discover unforgettable experiences.
To strengthen Atlanta's electronic music community.
And to continue proving that dance music has the power to bring people together.
Welcome to Atlanta EDM. We're glad you're here.
MEET THE TEAM
Cat Martinez - founder and ceo
I started out as a broke college student with a wild passion for electronic music. In 2013, the only way I could afford to see the artists I loved was to promote for them. Promoting for shows helped me discover both my passion for marketing and working behind the scenes of the music industry. What started out as a craving to become more involved with the diverse music scene in Atlanta led to building a mass community of people who all share the same passion for Atlanta EDM. I’ve been living in Atlanta since I was three years old and graduated with a B.B.A. in Marketing from Georgia State University.

Music has been a major aspect of my life consistently. I grew up in Boston, playing in bands and using music as a social bridge. When I came back to Atlanta to pursue my Undergraduate and Masters degrees, I enjoyed the local music scene, and watched it begin to evolve into one of the best hubs for electronic music in the nation. I quickly found myself enjoying EDM shows and festivals, and making friends that became family through the scene. I entered the world of promoting to afford more shows and get myself involved behind the scenes, through passion I excelled to managerial positions. Atlanta EDM seemed like the best platform to bring the community together and perpetuate the success of our local scene, and I was ecstatic to join the team in 2015. Since then I have spearheaded the Facebook division of Atlanta EDM, building our membership and connections with the best local venues and companies in the Southeast.
