In a mission to make it easier and (more fun!) to trace the threads of music history, Thomson UK has created an interactive map, detailing the evolution of western dance music over the last 100 years. This colorful Infograph charts out the time and place where each of the music styles were born, bread, buttered and jellied, as well as which blend of genres influenced the next. It is dazzling to watch.
