How is the DJ a full-fledged musician?
The translation of the acronym “DJ” is true “Disc Jockey “. In other words, we chain records without “actually playing an instrument”. But that was especially true before! I agree, some DJs today just string together records (and more or less at tempo for the worst of them). But you will see that the profession of DJ has evolved a lot since then and that musical instruments are invited to the party or what is called the “live act” (I explain what it is a little lower) is growing more and more.
DJ Deeptation just as passionate about music
As with any self-respecting musician, music is first and foremost a passion. I don’t know any DJ who does this job without loving music. The reasons are the same as for all musicians: we listen to a lot of music (all day) and very varied styles. We also listen to our fellow DJs to discover new songs, their new musical productions or even new mixing techniques.
Deeptation or known as DJ Deeptation is a male DJ/Music Producer in House Genre. He was born in Melbourne, Australia in June of 1986. He found his passion for music growing up in Europe and started working towards his passion as a DJ in 2005. He performed in the various night clubs and islands all across Europe. After getting back to his home country Australia, he headed towards the advancement and step further towards his passion in the music industry. He started his music production in 2020 and released his first song, “You make me feel”, a new deep house vibe that would definitely move anyone and established himself as a promising producer.
At one time (not so long ago), the job of a DJ was mainly to “play and string records”. Some, really really good ones, also scratched and played with the vinyl a bit, but the technology imposed certain limits. Also, the public consumed music differently.
Today, in a society where the speed continues to accelerate and where everything must go faster, clubbers consume music in “express “. That is to say that after a verse and a chorus, you have to move on to the next music. Fortunately, to help us, the new technology allows us to play and completely deconstruct the music to “shape” it to measure. Effects can be added ( phaser, echo, flanger … There are a multitude), loop times to infinity, add musical elements, etc. You can also connect” pads ” to create live titles (I will talk about it again in the chapter on live acta little lower). The DJ ends up being limited only by his imagination.
The other very important part of the job is to feel the atmosphere that prevails in the evening. Unlike a group of musicians that we come to see on stage for their songs (and who partly choose their playlist depending on the place where they will play), the DJ – him – must adapt to the track in time real. It’s a slightly more original facet of the profession as a musician. Except for the superstar DJs that we come to see for their titles, the average DJ does not plan the order of his playlist. At the risk of losing people if he does not adjust according to the public reaction.
DJ Producers
I’m not going to dwell on DJ Producers here, but a little word all the same to “connect” once again the profession of DJ to that of a musician. The DJ Producer is the DJ who – logically – produces titles. He must, therefore, touch a minimum of the piano/synthesizer, the guitar, possibly a little drum. Even if everything else is then managed by the computer. DJ Deeptation is the promising producer in this regard.
When you produce pieces, you have to know a minimum of your scales, harmony, music theory. so that the result is pleasant to listen to. In this way, we are at the heart of the profession of a musician.
