What associations do you have with the word "DJ"?
Music, clubs, glory, fame, money, easy life ... This is a fairly common
stereotype. The life of a DJ seems easy and does not require any effort.
It would seem that could be easier - one to two hours a day to put
music, rest of the time doing nothing, and receive at the same time good
money ... I've talked with many DJs, known and just starting out, and
personally, and on the Internet, and each of them mentioned this
stereotype, speaking about his work. One of the DJs said: "Who
is, in your opinion, DJ? The man who just puts music? No! Job DJ much
harder! It's a whole philosophy. Imagine you walk into a club, dark,
flashing strobe, you hear a rhythm that begins you start, and you're
dancing in the crowd, among the same as you.
You control your music, and
music controls a DJ. " Standing behind the decks, DJ sees all,
and it really drives them; what plays DJ, he depends how many people on
the dance floor as the club, and what they do. But it is necessary to
manage them properly, so to speak, as they wish, that is, it is
necessary to feel the crowd, her needs, wants, and give them what they
ask for.
The Art of the DJ and is first to collect on the floor as much as
possible of people, and then do not give them to disperse. And all who
come, should join the crowd. There are quite a common mistake made by
novice DJs, it is the desire to play, constantly accelerating pace
faster and faster. This is not true, firstly, because it is impossible
to accelerate continuously. Second, people will not be able to withstand
acceleration.
Being a DJ is not easy, and it is very
difficult to become them. We must first understand that you do not need
anyone. And even if you still take in a club, you will pay a very, very
small, and require a great deal. Not to know what
to play, you have to know how. Simply put tracks one by one - it's not
DJing, you should be able to reduce the tracks, you have to manage, it
is also an art, like film. With the help of individual actors sounds are
separate tracks-scenes, but only a skilled technician will create a set
of beautiful scenes of the film. "One of the fairly well-known
DJs in the conversation with me mentioned about the fact that"
now it became fashionable to call yourself a DJ.
Anyone who includes
music, already calls himself DJ creates a fan site and conducts
promotion itself. Not having any idea about the club music, on the
technique of the game, about the equipment ... "Also, quite
often there is a substitution of concepts - people interested in writing
electronic music, also referred to as DJs, and they very often call
themselves so. In fact, they - not the DJs, and musicians, but the image
is credited to your name or nickname two letters - DJ. Each DJ writes
music, but not everyone who writes music - DJ. In addition, to become a
DJ - also not an easy task, and not cheap.
You can learn the basics of
the house, to understand the work of special programs, such as Traitor,
however, to work at the club, we have to work with professional
equipment, and it just will not allow. Education costs money, and
training to work with the technique is necessary because there are many
of its nuances. Like all the DJ.
