What does DJ mean?

There are two meanings, one is "disc jockey" and the other is "announcer"

1, music program host

DJ's skill is called disc playing, which can also be said to be the technical term for disc playing. They exist in the form of playing songs. Most of them play electronic music, but strictly speaking, they can play any music style. Playing discs is generally translated as DJing, divorced from occupation.

The full name of DJ in English is disc jockey, which can be translated into Disc Jockey. DJ developed with HIPHOP culture and DISCO. With the development of DJ, the meaning has been completely clear. DJ is just a profession, a technical term. The main club is showing a disc. DJ refers to disc players in nightclubs, bars, livehouses, warehouse parties, music festivals and other places.

DJ is not a musical style, it is a misnomer for some kinds of electronic sounds or dance music. At first, DJ only played CDs on the radio. DJ has never been a radio host. At first, their job was just to play singles, but later it developed into playing CDs.

2. Announcer

Working in a radio station is usually very enjoyable. Almost all radio stations have very modern equipment. The control of room temperature and dust is very important for the normal maintenance of electronic technology equipment. Therefore, everyone who works here can enjoy a good working environment.

The work requirements of the host of pop music programs are very demanding. Every action and sentence in the broadcast must start and end on time, which may be very difficult, especially when the host of pop music programs must also undertake the work of reporting news, playing commercial advertisements, playing music, forecasting the weather and talking with guests within a certain time frame.

This requires many skills to coordinate work, including watching the clock, choosing music, answering the phone or talking to guests, reading reports and pleasing the audience. Usually, these activities must be completed at the same time. The host of a pop music program must be able to plan various arrangements so as to keep a high degree of concentration during work, and be able to move on to the next song or insert a commercial at the end of the music.

Besides the radio host, DJ refers to the disc player-

Disco existed long before World War I, and DJ was only the host behind the scenes. Only 1972, a song by "Wild Cherry", "Playing that fashionable music", can be regarded as the real origin of disco. This kind of music style was immediately favored by the majority of young friends at that time, and was later named "Funky", who participated in some foreground work such as singing, music production and concert hosting, and could not be called a professional "DJ".

198 1 year, an era that everyone is very familiar with-the era of break dancing-appeared. The style of break dancing has continued to this day and has become a well-known style. They also originated from black street music and have the same characteristics-that is, 1997' s popular "rap". 198 1 year, "DJ" officially went from behind the scenes to the front desk, and was responsible for selecting suitable music from various 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 (actually vinyl).

The development of turntable, don't think it doesn't matter. Without turntable, there would be no DJ, but little known is that "Technics produced the first professional phonograph as early as 1979, which laid the foundation for DJ, a special industry. In the early 1980 s, DJ would not give full play to the advantages of record player, but only operated mechanically.

By the end of 1980s, I don't know who invented a scratch record (just scrubbing the disc) to control the rotation speed of the disc to produce different effects. This is caused by the characteristics of vinyl, which is actually quite outdated ... but very retro), 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.

2 1 century is the heyday of DISCO and DJ, and various new styles of music emerge one after another, and the method of rubbing discs is becoming more and more incredible.

From the weekend night craze Disco Fever in the 1970s to rock music and soul blues in Motown in the 1980s, as well as House whirlwind in the late 1980s, Hip-Hop Kuroshio in the United States and rave culture in the early 1990s, until the end of the century, various electronic dance music emerged one after another, and DJ's works and skills were constantly innovating.

After such a generation change, DJ culture has not declined, but has been more and more respected and favored by the world, so more and more people have devoted themselves to the DJ industry. In view of this, this teaching gives friends who want to join the music ranks a preliminary concept of DJ's work and skills.
