DJ research A disc jockey (abbreviated D.J. or DJ) is a person who mixes recorded music for an audience.

At the start of the new century, the introduction of advances in technology made it possible for new sounds to be developed. The introduction of the Pioneer SVM-1000 Audio and Video Mixer and other high tech digital sound mixers made a whole new culture of disco DJ integration. The appearance of games like DJ hero gave birth to the scratch-off contests. DJ Vs. DJ battles imitating the events on the game gave the DJ industry a more competitive phase. The DJ industry has become increasingly about the atmosphere that goes along with a performance. Now not only does the DJ show deal with music and mixing but also lights and effect go along with it.

The role of the disc jockey is to play music geared towards a specific audience; whether it be for those who love classical music, pop, rnb, country, folk, rock, disco, etc. DJ's also choose songs that will fit a certain occasion; whether it be for a wedding, birthday, award ceremony and other social gatherings.

DJ's work in radio stations where they are expected to create a daily play list. Aside from spinning records, they may also add segments to the program where they interact with listeners.They also play music at local functions such as parties and parades; some even get the chance to go on tour with famous artists. DJ's who perform at local venues are expected to have their own equipment such as turntables, mixers and of course, a stack of records and cd's.
