Pop music show host

The full name of DJ Disco jockey can be understood as the master of ceremonies or record knight in a disco. To say what a DJ is, we should start with the development of DISCO.

DISCO existed before World War I, but it was not as crazy and HIGH as it is now. At best, it's just some rhythmic music. At that time, the DJ was just a behind-the-scenes host, just like the host of the radio station now.

Only 1972' s "Cherry Lips" song "Playthe Funky Muisc" 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).

At this point, I must talk about the development of a 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.

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.

That's about it. There is too much history for me to understand.
