What does DJ mean?

Djs can be divided into two categories: one is media DJ, and most of these DJs are TV or radio hosts (DJ: short for Disc Jockey, also known as "disc jockey", which refers to people who choose and play pre-recorded music to entertain others), and English: Radio Disc Jockey. The second category is nightclub DJ, which is also the focus of the introduction. Nightclub DJ, English: Night of Shop DJ or Disco music jockey, can be understood as nightclub host or record knight! Disco existed as early as World War I, but it was not as crazy and loud as it is now, just some music with a strong sense of rhythm. DJ was just a behind-the-scenes program host, just like DJ on the radio now! Only 1972 "Cherry Lips" and "Play the Funky Muisc" can be regarded as the real origin of dance music. 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.

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 record called Skratching, which is also called "Disking".

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.
