Information On The Various Kinds Of DJs

By Kimberly Graham


The abbreviation DJ usually stands for disc jockey. Other related abbreviations and terms are D. J and deejay in that order. The specialty of these professionals is in playing and mixing recorded music for audiences in a live setting or over the radio. The term was originally limited to gramophone records, but that has changed ever since. Today, the term applies to all analogue and digital devices used to record music in this industry. There are many highly qualified and experiences DJs in Naples, FL that one can hire to mix and play music in various events and settings.

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/club deejays work at night most of the time. They serve audiences in bars and clubs among other venues. They are required to serve the interests of the people, but paying music that they want. That is the reason different clubs are known for playing different genres of music. A good deejay keeps people dancing all night long. Stadiums, parties, and discotheques are the other places they work.

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 get a chance to act as MCs in events too. Being a master of ceremony means that one has to address the audience over public address systems. They need to stay abreast with all events going on at a function and keep the audience engaged and aware of what is happening. They usually have prior knowledge of the items on the agenda of the day so that they can know what to do. Success in this line of business requires being excellent in oral communication.

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.
