Disc jockey(DJ)


disc jockey (also known as 'DJ' or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Originally, disk referred tophonograph records, while disc referred to the Compact Disc, and has become the more common spelling. Today, the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the source.
There are several types of disc jockeys. Radio DJs introduce and play music that is broadcast on AMFMshortwavedigital, or internet radio stations. Club DJs select and play music in barsnightclubsdiscothèques, at raves, or even in a stadiumHip hop disc jockeys select and play music using multiple turntables, often to back up one or more MCs, and they may also do turntable scratching to create percussive sounds. In reggae, the disc jockey (deejay) is a vocalist who raps, "toasts", or chats over pre-recorded rhythm tracks while the individual choosing and playing them is referred to as a selector. Mobile DJs travel with portable sound systems and play recorded music at a variety of events.

  11. I want to be a dj, but instead of discs, I'll use samurai swords, and I'll throw them at people. Itl kind of symbolize dancing. That's what I want to be when I grow up.
