Information On The Various Kinds Of DJs

By Kimberly Graham


The term disc jockey is often abbreviated as DJ. Deejay and D. J are the other term and abbreviation used respectively. These professionals specialize in mixing and playing recorded music to audiences over the radio or live. The use of the term was initially limited to gramophone records. However, it has evolved ever since to include all types of digital as well as analogue music sources. Some of the best DJs in the United States are located in Naples, FL.

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.

The concept of DJ originated from the radio. Radio deejays or radio personalities work to introduce and play music to listeners over internet, AM, FM, and digital radio stations. In the course of doing their work, they promote and market artists and their music to their audiences. Radio stations tend to be specific in the kind of music they prefer to play to their audiences. This has led to some music genres being more popular than others in some places.

Bar or club deejays mostly work at night to mix and play music to audiences in clubs, bars and similar venues. To capture the audience, it is important to understand its interests. That is why clubs are specific in the kind of music they play to people. A good deejay should be able to keep people dancing the whole night. These deejays also work in stadiums, discotheques, and at parties.

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 at times act as MCs in the events they preside over. They use public address systems to talk to people at the events and make various announcements. They know the events of the day, and so they direct the audience as necessary. They may introduce guests and make announcements on behalf of various people in the audience. They talk while playing music at the same time. Oral communication skills are needed to increase chance of success in this sub-field.

Modern deejays make use of a wide variety of equipment in their business. Some powerful systems have comes up as a result of technological developments, making life more convenient and easier for deejays. Equipment used by deejays is often able to simultaneously play music from multiple sources.

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.
