Techniques and styles dj of techno music

On the radio, DJs contributed to the consolidation of the rock and roll movement from the second half of the 50s, as the biggest cultural event of the twentieth century youth; names of artists as diverse as Elvis Presley and The Beatles would not have reached the stardom if not for the commitment of the original DJs. Around the same time began to emerge Jamaican DJs, known as selectors, who initially played mainly discs U.S. R & B sound systems, and became a success especially among less privileged who could not afford to have a radio or record player.

With the advent of disco in the mid-'70s, DJs also gained fame outside the radio and went to the dance floor. In lanes, DJs who worked until the middle of the 1990s only used vinyl records in their presentations. Despite the fact that there are already CDs before that, there was no equipment to allow the incoming sync music with music running (pitch adjustment for subsequent mixing). The way this is accomplished mix of action, moreover, is the main difference between the professionals.

A DJ has the insight to know what musical compositions have speeds (measured in beats per minute) or near equal, so that a change in one or two percent of the speed with which the measure allows the same to be synchronized and mixed, and the public unable to notice that a track is ending and another is beginning, because the two tracks are in the same rhythm, meter and speed.

DJs of the 1980s and 1990s sincronizavam mixed composition (incoming) controlling the speed of the turntable plate, taking care to make the needle did not escape groove vinyl (which in practice makes the song "jump ") and also with the timbre of the voice of the music would not be, too, changed with the speed too high or too low dish. This change was possible in the speed turntables that have the button called pitch. The most famous turntable, this time, was the Technics SL-1200 MK-2, which is still sold and sought after by professionals and lovers of vinyl for sturdiness and strength that your engine has direct traction.

After the popularity of CD manufacturers like Pioneer, Technics and Numark developed devices like CD players with their own resources to DJ. Known as CDJs, have special buttons to change the pitch, the return of the band, marking point (cue effect) and looping. The timbre of the music was controlled (optionally) by a specific trigger, usually known as Master Tempo. With this feature, even if the composition is greatly accelerated (or slowed down), the timbre of the voice, keyboards, guitars, etc.. is maintained, somehow dodging the ability of public perception, to note that certain sound is ringing in speed different from normal. Moreover, there is more risk of the record skip, despite careful in cleaning up the CD media to be the same as a stain on optical media can damage and even interrupt the song running. Another feature of this equipment is to mark the starting point of the song (designated cue point). Thus, a DJ with a touch button can return to the starting point before a few seconds to mix the music on it is running.

Attention is drawn here to the fact that, besides the obligatory musical talent to a DJ in knowing about the time of the compositions that he intends to mix during his presentation, the same must also know where, when and if a composition or a particular version of this has a region (usually without vocals, beats and dry little or no appearance of guitars and keyboards) popularly known as broken, where you can enter the next composition without the result to be confused (with two vocal songs of different "talking" to same time, for example). This quirk is mandatory for professionals who mixes live with both as vinyl with CDs

The DJ is, after all, an exciting event. This song must know enough to know when and how to mix them, must feel the vibration of the public who are listening, and learn a style change in time, so the track is not empty. Should be as eclectic as possible, or leave very clear to your audience and your contractor what your style or trend. There are specialized DJ at raves. Others, who are dedicated to songs that have already made a successful eight, ten or twenty years ago.
