What is DJ? When was it introduced to China? Ask God for help

Djs are divided into two categories. The first category is media Dj. Most of these Djs work as hosts on TV stations and radio stations. English: Radio Dj. The second category is nightclub Dj, which is also the focus of what we are going to talk about today. Nightclub Dj in English: Night of shop Dj or Disco Music jacky can be understood as the host or record knight of the nightclub! DISCO already existed before World War I, but at that time it was not as crazy or HIGH as it is now, and it was just music with a stronger rhythm. At that time, DJs were just hosting programs behind the scenes, just like Radio Djs now. ! The song "Play the Funky Muisc" by the "Cherry Lips" band in 1972 can be regarded as the true origin of dance music. This style of music was immediately favored by the majority of young friends under the circumstances of the time. It was later named "Funky" and is still deeply loved by people today. The "DJ" has moved from behind the scenes to semi-behind the scenes, and has participated in some front-end work such as singing, music production, and concert hosting. It cannot be called a professional "DJ" yet. By 1981, an era emerged that everyone was very familiar with - the era of break dancing. The original style of break dancing continues to this day and has become a style that everyone knows. They also originate from black street music and have the same characteristics - "RAP" which was popular in 1997. "DJ" officially moved from behind the scenes to the front desk in 1981, responsible for selecting suitable music from various kinds of music to play for guests. There were no CDs or LDs at that time, and DJs were just playing something called "Record", which we call bakelite discs or records (we professionally call them big discs). In the early 1980s, DJs did not fully utilize the advantages of turntables, only mechanical operations. In the late 1980s, someone invented something called scratching records (I don’t know how to explain it to you, so I have to call it “scratching” in our jargon). Now you can see DJs constantly scratching a turntable, matching The beat makes a squeaking sound, pushing DISCO to its first climax. In the 1980s, British Prince Tony founded the DMC Alliance in 1983 to officially push DJs from behind the scenes to the front. At first, they only published music magazines to introduce the music culture and dance floor culture at that time. Then, it produced some of the latest music records every month and promoted the latest dance music. At that time, more than 20,000 DJs accepted the services it provided. Beginning in 1984, the first DMC World DJ Competition was held. The competition was held in the largest "Hippodrome" in London, England. The best DJs from more than 30 countries and regions participated. As a result, DMC holds the "DMC World Champion DJ Competition" every year and has headquarters in London, UK and New York, USA. Its branches are established in thirty-five different countries. The transnational development of DMC has made DMC's events more eye-catching. In 1992, the active participation of the famous "MTV" music channel made DMC's events even richer. The much-anticipated DMC World DJ Competition in 1998 was held at the Paris Arena in France. The competition lasted from 2 pm to 9 pm. There were already 6,000 DJs from all over France. This time, the DMC World DJ Competition attracted more than 12 TV stations from different countries to report on it. Of course, there were also many radio stations and text players from all over the world, and this event was also a great story.

In recent years, many outstanding DJs have transformed popular pop songs into DISCO dance music or directly created some dance music and played it on various occasions, which has directly led China's electronic music culture. As a result, you can hear DJ dance music in any occasion. You can easily feel the presence of DJ whether you are online, in the car or in the unimaginable countryside, because DJ dance music is so good! So you may be filled with the strong rhythm of dance music wherever you are. Even if you don't want to listen to it! But dance music will still pour into your ears, because this is avant-garde, this is popular, this is fashion! With this, the new industry of Dj has also been recognized globally. What is Dj? DJ is the trend, DJ is the electronic music that yearns for the avant-garde and leads everyone towards fashion. DJ is very ordinary. When there is no music, Dj is ordinary and can no longer be ordinary. When the music plays, Dj is the god in everyone's mind!
