Dj.

In the last decades, the height of the Disc Jockeys has been present at that have become key piece within the contemporary musical scope, these personages whose varied musical mixtures they comprise of a modern and propositive artistic form.

Word DJ (DEE JAY) = Sum discs

They were born with the appearance of the radio, the DJ was the speaker in turn that put discs literally to be transmitted by the commercial radio.

In 70 years' s, with the birth of the discotheques, the DJ let the cabins wireless to move to the clubs and to put discs of vinil in “tornamensas�.

In the United States, the concept of the discotheque had great acceptance and it quickly became the new model of entertainment, the explosion of the clubs brought with himself a new form of expression, dance music (as the sound discotheque) were inheriting of the purest “Black� vein of music.

For half-full of the 70' s, the discotheques socially were accepted and the Disc recognized Jockey' s like personages who spurted from music to these premises.

The Rap stopped being a minority, exclusive phenomenon of the North American black population and it settled down like a sound that did not need musicians to generate music.

The technological explosion managed more and more to accelerate processes of production of discs. The “Sampler� began to be considered like the new instrument, with a single apparatus could be caught, be modified and be reused already existing sounds.

Dee jay left to a side the tornamesa and discovered that when having access to the technology, could stop depending on the musicians; Dj' s was the initiators of the “Remixes�, this managed to place them in the display cabinets and their names began to quote in the market of music.

Thus it is that the 90' s to speak of a Dj, became something so vague, a Dj could not be a radio speaker, the musician of a group of Rap and hip hop, the one that puts music in a club, the one that creates remixes dance, etc…
