What is it about?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a day for celebrating the world\u2019s music mixers, the priests and priestesses of euphoric, music-induced transcendence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Originally, the \u201cdisc\u201d in \u201cdisc jockey\u201d referred to analog gramophone records, nowadays \u201cDJ\u201d is used as an all-encompassing term to describe someone who blends together recorded music from a number of sources, including vinyls, USB sticks, cassette tapes and CDs. The term was coined in 1935 by American radio commentator Walter Winchell. The world\u2019s first DJ dance party was born in 1943, thanks to Jimmy Savile, who later become the first DJ to use twin turntables for continous play.<\/p>\n

The first disco (Whiskey \u00e0 Go-Go) opened in France in 1947, and from there spread across Europe and the United States. Very soon, specialized DJ equipments such as mixers and direct-drive turntables began to appear on the market, together with techniques like beatmatching and slip-cuing. DJ Kool Herc, Kraftwerk, Afrika Bambaataa, Larry Levan and Grand Wizard Theodore are considered to be some of the most influential musicians of the early years of electronic music.<\/p>\n

Radio & Club DJs, Turntablits<\/h3>\n

The most common types are radio DJs, who introduce and play music on air, club DJs, who mix music recordings from two or more sources to produce a non-stopping flow of music at live events, and turntablists, who use techniques such as scratching, as well as turntables and an audio console called DJ mixer to manipulate sounds and create new music and sound effects.<\/p>\n
