The meaning of DJ, historical origin, cultural heritage
Share
DISCO existed long before the First World War, when DJs were only behind the scenes, and in 1972 the band "Play that Funky Music" by the band "Wild Cherry" was the true origin of DISCO. This style of music was immediately favored by the majority of young people in the environment of the time, and was later named "Funky", and participated in some singing, music production, and concert hosting and other front-of-the-scenes work, and could not be called a professional "DJ".
By 1981, an era that everyone was very familiar with -- the era of breakdancing -- appeared. The style of breaking has continued to this day, and it has become a style that everyone knows. They are also derived from black street music, and they have the same characteristics - it is "RAP", which was all the rage in '97." In 1981, the DJ officially moved from the background to the front desk, where he was responsible for selecting the right music for the guests to listen to. At that time, there were no CDs or LDs, and DJs were just playing something called "Record", which is what we call bakelite discs or records (actually vinyl).
The development of turntables, don't think that it doesn't matter , without turntables there would be no DJs, but what is less known is that "Technics laid the foundation for this particular profession of DJs as early as 1979 with the production of the first professional turntable. In the early eighties of the twentieth century, DJs did not take full advantage of the advantages of the record player, but only operated mechanically. By the end of the '80s, someone had invented a method called scratching records, which controlled the speed of the disc to produce different effects. It's because of the nature of vinyl, which is actually quite outdated. But it's kind of retro), which pushed DISCO to its first climax. After that, DISCO was depressed for several years under the powerful impact of karaoke, and in 95 and 96 it swept the world again with lightning speed, and it returned.
The 21st century is the heyday of DISCO and DJs, with new styles of music emerging and scratching more and more incredible.
Starting with Disco Fever in the '70s, rock 'n' roll in the '80s, Motown's Soul Blues, House Whirlwind in the late '80s, Hip-Hop in the United States, Rave culture in the early '90s, and all kinds of electronic dance music at the end of the century, DJs are constantly innovating their work and techniques. After such a generational change, DJ culture has not only not declined, but has become more and more respected and loved by the world, so more and more people are devoting themselves to the DJ industry. In view of this, this tutorial allows friends who want to join the music industry to have a preliminary idea of the work and skills of DJs. There is no other reason, traditional record players can make a scratch effect, compare without running the beat, how many marks are left to play at a glance, want to repeat a certain sentence or beat in the lyrics all the time (two record players must play the same song), Cue points are easy to recognize, etc., which CD Player can't do; Anyone who has seen the tapes of the World DJ Contest knows that there are even contestants who jump on top of the record player and use "that place" instead of their hands to play DJ tricks. Of course, CD Player is not without its advantages, such as the ability to set the sound quality to remain the same when speeding up (traditional record players will become sharper when speeding up, and sometimes even male voices will become female voices). When you play a CD, you can know the BPM of the song instantly, and the biggest advantage: a CD can hold more than 10 songs without frequent disc changes.
