    Information On The Various Kinds Of DJs

    By Kimberly Graham


    DJ is the abbreviated form of the term disc jockey. Other variations of the term and abbreviation are deejay and D. J. These are professionals whose specialty is in mixing recorded music that is being played to a live audience or over the radio. The term was initially limited to gramophone records, but it has since expanded to encompass all kinds of sources, both digital and analogue. Naples, FL is one of the places with the greatest DJs in the country.

    There are many different types of deejays. Major examples are club/bar deejays, mobile/wedding deejays, radio deejays, and performer/guest deejays. The audiences are not strictly defined, but the various kinds of deejays tend to be specific in the kind of audiences they serve. Mixes created by deejays may also be recorded to be sold and distributed later.

    Radio was the origin of the concept of DJ. Radio personalities of deejays work to introduce, play, and mix music to radio audiences over digital, internet, AM, and FM radio stations. They also promote artists and their work in the music industry. Radio stations are usually partially specific in the genre of music they play, which appeals to specific crowds. That has promoted the popularity of some music genres than others.

    Club or bar deejays play music to people in clubs and bars, especially at night. They are required to understand the specific needs of their audiences so as to capture their interest. This can be seen in the specificity of night clubs in the kind of music they play to people. It is the responsibility of the DJ to ensure that people keep playing for the whole night by playing good music. They also play and mix music at parties, discotheques, and stadiums at times.

    Mobile or wedding deejays travel from place to place with a portable sound system to play recorded music in various events. To be successful as a mobile DJ, one needs to be comfortable with taking requests from the audience. Sometimes one may have the entire playlist they came with replaced with a different one. One needs to be prepared with different playlists to suit different events.

    Mobile deejays often act as master of ceremonies too. Here, one should be comfortable speaking to audiences over public address systems. Mobile deejays are often required to call upon the audience to focus their attention at different events happening at the function. One may need to know what is composed on the agenda of the day so as to be prepared to handle the day. Good communication skills are required for success.

    Modern deejays have adopted a wide range of equipment to help them play and mix music. Technological advancement in this field has also led to the invention of some very powerful systems and make the job easier and more enjoyable. Typically, deejays use equipment that is able to play a minimum of two sources of recorded music at the same time.

    Playing music from multiple sources simultaneously allows for mixing it. It also becomes easier to switch between the recordings seamlessly. Because many new devices have come up in the industry, it may take some time to master them all.
