What is DJ?
The full name of DJ is DISCO Jackey, which can be understood as the emcee or record knight of DISCO dance hall.
DISCO existed before World War I. But at that time, it was not as crazy and HIGH as it is now. At best, it was just music with a stronger rhythm. At that time, the DJ was just hosting the program behind the scenes, just like the host of the radio today.
Today’s DJs are different from usual. They have not only moved from behind the scenes to the front desk, but have also become the soul of those DISCO squares, DISCO bars and any DISCO-related activities. They rely on their unique understanding of music over the years and their sexy and magnetic voices to bring people the most HIGH feeling within a certain time and scope! This is the DJ we are referring to today...
In fact, it is very simple to be a DJ, not as difficult as imagined, but it is not easy to be an excellent DJ. Before that, I I want to first instill in you some essential concepts that I think are necessary for DJs, as follows:
1: To be a professional DJ, you must be able to accept any music. Although we don't like the music we like very much, we still have to respect it. We can absorb music knowledge in many aspects to enrich ourselves.
2: Never take drugs when listening to music. We insist on NATURAL HIGH and do not need drugs to lead us.
3: Learn how to integrate with music and quickly enter the artistic conception of the song. Naturally, people in the audience will also feel the elements inspired by our integration with the music, and they will go crazy! It would be best to attend more parties with well-known DJs, maybe it would be easier to experience it.
4: Always remember to promote dance music culture, don’t let the culture be like this...@!$@, for example, at the end of the PARTY dance or PARTY ballroom, play some new dance music, or at other appropriate times, Push as hard as you can!
5: A DJ’s job is to serve the crowd, let everyone have fun and spread new music concepts to people’s satisfaction.
6: The knowledge in the world of dance music is infinite. Be open to accepting new knowledge and absorbing new concepts at any time. If you agree, you are the best DJ of the new generation.

In the past, DJs were all based on vinyl LPs. Therefore, to join the ranks of professional DJs, you have to go through thousands of hours of practice and have constant contact with vinyl LPs. Only with faith and dedication to music can you succeed.

Some knowledgeable DJs can tell the sections and beats of the music just from the grooves on the surface of the vinyl LP, even without using any speakers or headphones. The music can be completely edited in one go. The technique of listening to music is also one of the items tested in the European DJ Competition.
