The full name of DJ disc jockey can be understood as disc jockey. To say what a DJ is, we should start with the development of DISCO. Disco existed as early as World War I, but it was not as crazy and HIGH as it is now. At best, it's just some rhythmic music. DJ was just the host behind the scenes, just like the host of the radio station now. Only a song of "Cherry Lips" in 1972, "Play that fashionable music", can be regarded as the real origin of disco. This music style was immediately favored by young friends at that time, and was later named "Funky", which is still deeply loved by people until now. While "DJ" has changed from behind the scenes to semi-behind-the-scenes, and participated in some front-stage work such as singing, music production and concert hosting, so it cannot be called a professional "DJ". 198 1, an era that everyone is very familiar with has emerged-the era of break dancing. The style of break dancing has continued to this day and has become a well-known style. They also come from black street music and have the same characteristics-that is, 1997' s popular "rap". 198 1, "DJ" formally walked from behind the scenes to the front desk, and was responsible for selecting the appropriate music from all kinds of music for the guests. At that time, there was no CD or LD, and the DJ was just playing something called "records", which is what we call bakelite discs or records (our major is called albums). This information comes from this. I must talk about the development of DJ turntable. Don't think it's unimportant. No turntable, no DJ. Craft is still the leader in record player manufacturing. No DJ will know about the tape player and timely record player developed and manufactured by this company until now, but little known is that as early as 1979, "Technics" produced the first professional record player, which laid the foundation for this special industry of DJ. In the early 1980 s, DJ couldn't give full play to the advantages of record player, so he had to operate it mechanically. By the end of 1980s, I don't know who invented a scratch record (I don't know how to explain it to you, so I have to call it "Disking" in our jargon. It is now that you see the DJ constantly rubbing a turntable and making a creaking sound with the beat. ), pushing DISCO to the first climax. After that, disco was depressed for several years under the strong collision of karaoke, and in 1995 and 1996, it swept the world with lightning speed and made a comeback. In 1980s, Prince Tony of England founded DMC Alliance in 1983, which officially pushed DJ from behind the scenes to the stage. At first, he just published a music magazine, introducing the music culture and dance floor culture at that time. Then make some latest music records and promote the latest dance music every month. At that time, about 20 thousand DJs accepted its service. From 1984, the first DMC World DJ Competition was held in the largest "arena" in London, England at that time, and the best DJs from more than 30 countries and regions went to participate. Therefore, DMC holds the "DMC World Champion DJ Competition" every year, with its headquarters in London, England and new york, USA. Its branches are located in 35 different countries. The transnational development of DMC makes DMC's events more noticeable, and the active participation of the famous "MTV" music channel 1992 enriches DMC's events. 1998 DMC world DJ competition was held in Paris, France. The competition lasted from 2 pm to 9 pm, and there were already 6000 DJs from all over France. This DMC World DJ Competition attracted more than 12 TV stations from different countries to report, and of course, there were many radio stations and word players from all over the world. This activity was also a good story. In recent years, many excellent DJs have changed popular songs into DISCO dance music or directly created some dance music to play in various occasions, which has directly led the electronic music culture in China, and also led you to hear DJ dance music in any occasion. No matter online, in the car or in the unimaginable countryside, you can easily feel the existence of DJ, because DJ dance music is so beautiful! So you may be filled with the strong rhythm of dance music, even if you don't want to listen! But dance music will still fill your ears, because this is avant-garde, this is fashion, this is fashion! Now, I think it is the heyday of DISCO and DJ, and all kinds of new styles of music emerge one after another, and the method of rubbing discs is more and more incredible. The word DJ has already represented the latest, strongest, most poisonous and highest music. In fact, there are many jobs that a DJ can do. Even many sound effects synthesis, film and television sound effects, concert live sound effects, new song sound effects, etc., can be completed by DJ's ability. DJ is widely used all over the world, but it is difficult for us to see DJ in the above occasions because of the lack of training and historical foundation in China. But it is undeniable that we have never lacked DJ talents. Generally speaking, he is a musician who uses electronic means and belongs to the music creator. Real professional DJs also have a certain level division. The highest level is the composer, who can combine or create new electronic music by using various music materials; Then there is the sound engineer, who can use various sound effects to render and increase the demand of a certain work field. There are many sound engineers now, and there is no shortage of sound experts playing LP vinyl in China. Finally, the most common commercial DJ. The so-called commercial DJ works in some entertainment places, discos, bars, nightclubs and so on. Their job is to connect all kinds of music and dance music with their own techniques and arrangements, so as to better complete the opening, transition and climax of the musical atmosphere. Because there are very few industries where DJs work in China, most people may misunderstand that DJs just hang out at night, which is all wet. Finally, correct a low-level slip of the tongue of most people. Nowadays, many people can easily call ordinary dance music "DJ". The meaning of "DJ" is completely clear DJ is a technical term, which is the abbreviation of Disc Jockey. It refers to the occupation, not the type of song. "Radio DJ" is a classic slip of the tongue. No one has ever called a radio host DJ abroad, but MC, (the abbreviation of Micphone Controller. Microphone users) will not be explained here. After all, DJ is a musician who realizes the music process by electronic means, and has nothing to do with the radio host. Times are changing. In fact, the host of music programs is a thing of the past. Although there are still many dj friends in China who hold this idea, the fact is that in this era, dj is no longer suitable to be a DJ. Under the background of the digital age, when global records are languishing and declining, and a large number of mp3 downloads are prevalent on the Internet, the dynasty should have changed long ago. Now the correct meaning of dj should be called digital jockey.
