More About This Book

Overview

DJs have gone from being underpaid live jukeboxes to becoming premier entertainers, producers, businessmen, and musicians capable of commanding admiration from thousands and earning serious money. Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton's Last Night a DJ Saved My Life was the definitive history of the DJ. Now they gather their mastery of the artistic and technical aspects of being a DJ into a clear, accessible, and entertaining guide. How to DJ is the perfect guide — from the most basic keys to establishing a music collection and a distinctive sound, to elementary record-spinning, to the complex skills of scratching, hot-mixing, and beat-juggling, as well as the inimitable art of creating an evening of sound that is perfectly timed, balanced, and unforgettable. Diagrams throughout illustrate phrases, beat timing, and song structure with no reliance on music theory, and resource lists recommend everything from which songs are best (and most fun) to learn with, to good sources for building a library of disks, CDs, and MP3s. For those who want to turn pro, the authors give sage advice on the vagaries of the club and music business. Short quotes, anecdotes, and photos of famous DJs such as Grandmaster Flash and Derrick Carter are featured.

    Awesome Book

    I've been DJing off and on for years and I must admit that I learned some new ideas from this book. I appreciate how the author emphasizes the fact the djing is more than scratching, mixing, and beat matching. It is an art an expression of ones creativity that makes everybody on the dance floor have a good time. From Hip Hop and R&B to Trance and Reggae, the book explains the art behind the deck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

    Clever and informative

    This thorough and witty book details the art practiced by the person behind the decks. It's a lot harder than it looks from the dancefloor! I gained a new respect for everyone who works at clubs and radio stations (although the book deals with the former). Even if you don't intend to take up the calling, you will enjoy this look into the music world.
