A disc jockey, more commonly abbreviated as
DJ, is a person who hosts recorded music for an
audience. Most common types of DJs include radio DJs, club DJs, who
perform at a nightclub or music festival and turntablists who use record
players, usually turntables, to manipulate sounds on phonograph records.
Originally, the "disc" in
"disc jockey" referred to vinyl
records, but nowadays DJ is used as an all-encompassing term to also
describe persons who mix music from other recording media such as
cassettes, CDs or digital audio files on a CDJ or a laptop. The title
"DJ" is often used by DJs in front of their real names, adopted
pseudonyms, or stage names.
