I love music
Especially Djing
The modern DJ's role as a
performer who creates a seamless and extended
mix of music for a dance party or club atmosphere evolved from radio
personalities who introduced and played individual selections of
recorded music on broadcast radio stations. In 1935, American radio
commentator Walter Winchell coined the term "disc jockey" (the
combination of disc, referring to disc-shaped phonograph records, and
jockey, which is an operator of a machine) to describe radio announcer
Martin Block, the first radio announcer to gain widespread fame for
playing popular recorded music over the air. In 1943, radio DJ Jimmy
Savile launched the world's first DJ dance party by playing jazz records
in the upstairs function room of the Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds in
Otley, England. In 1947, he claims to have become the first DJ to use
twin turntables for continuous play, and in 1958 became a radio DJ at
Radio Luxembourg. Also in 1947, the Whiskey à Go-Go nightclub opened in
Paris, France, considered to be the world's first commercial
discothèque, or disco (deriving its name from the French word meaning a
nightclub where the featured entertainment is recorded music rather than
an on-stage band). Regine began playing on two turntables there in
1953.
Discos began appearing across Europe and the United States.
