Summary: DJs, or disc jockeys, play pre-recorded music for an audience at a party, club or on the radio. There are different types of DJs, including turntable DJs and radio DJs. Turntable specialists use actual records or discs, while radio DJs use music files, CDs or jingles. Turntable disc jockeys use different techniques to often manipulate the sound of the record including mixing, phrasing, cutting, scratching and beat-matching.
