DeeJay at the sense of the Party ’84’

My Deejay career started way back in 1984, and yes, the old T-Shirt phase comes out when you reminisce about the gigs you once played and the outrageous things that happen. Well, it’s always the drink that talks unlike the legs being unable to walk in a straight line.

Punter’s banter not always makes any sense. Some worth talking about, others nothing to sing home about, but some times we refer back to them with a smile.

And by that I mean, some online DeeJee forums ask for others to share their experiences on how they got started. Of late, I’ve become less willing to share any info as there is always someone out there where you have a bottomless pit at the end of your garden, and there’s still four foot deeper.

So if you want some wisdom, listen to whoever is supplying it and skip the bits you don’t wont to reuse.

What is EDM?

Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance, is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix by segueing from one recording to another. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA. In Europe, EDM is more commonly called ‘dance music’, or simply ‘dance’.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radios and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved widespread mainstream popularity in Europe. In the United States at that time, acceptance of dance culture was not universal; although both electro and Chicago house music were influential both in Europe and the United States, mainstream media outlets and the record industry remained openly hostile to it. There was also a perceived association between EDM and drug culture, which led governments at state and city level to enact laws and policies intended to halt the spread of rave culture.

Subsequently, in the new millennium, the popularity of EDM increased globally, largely in Australia and the United States. By the early 2010s, the term “electronic dance music” and the initialism “EDM” was being pushed by the American music industry and music press in an effort to rebrand American rave culture. Despite the industry’s attempt to create a specific EDM brand, the initialism remains in use as an umbrella term for multiple genres, including house, techno, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, trap and footwork as well as their respective subgenres.

A broad description of Dance Music

Dance music is a broad term that includes many different styles of music. The history of dance music and gain an understanding of its evolution from the 19th century to the present.

Defining Dance Music

Since the emergence of rock and roll in the 1950’s, music has come to occupy a considerably important place in the lives of young people. Indeed, there are seemingly endless applications for popular music, from driving social justice movements to selling consumer goods, but sometimes we all just want something that makes us dance.

Dance music is a broad term that refers to any kind of music that is created specifically for people to dance to. Considering that music is very personal and its uses are subjective, it can be hard to distinguish dance music from other types and to pinpoint its exact origins.

Though there are earlier examples of dance music from the classical and romantic periods, like the waltz or the mazurka, the genre as we know it today has roots in the late 19th and early 20th century. During this time, ballroom dancing was a popular form of entertainment and music was often created specifically to accommodate the dance style.

Moving into the 1930’s, town hall dances and dance competitions were a popular form of entertainment for which music was also often specifically written. Throughout the 1930’s, 40’s, and into the early 50’s, swing music was a wildly popular form of big band jazz that generally accompanied high energy dancing. The popularity of these styles began to decline with the emergence of rock and roll and rhythm and blues music in the mid-to-late 1950’s.

Though not specifically produced for the purposes of making people dance, the rhythms, melodies, and composition of 1960’s soul and rhythm and blues lent itself well to dancing and good times. Moreover, there were a number of singles, like The Twist and Shake a Tail Feather, that were created for dancing, often going as far as calling out the steps in the song.

Entering into the 1970’s, the concept of dance music changed considerably, as soul and R&B slowly morphed into funk music and eventually disco, which would ultimately reshape the way that we all think about dance music.

Disco

Disco is a genre of dance music blending soul, funk, rhythm and blues, and pop that emerged during the late 1960’s and early 70’s in New York City. It is characterized by heavy bass lines, strong beats, and the incorporation of early electronic instruments like the synthesizer. The word is derived from the French term discotheque, a name given to nightclubs in France during the 1960’s and eventually in other parts of Europe.

Throughout the first half of the 1970’s, it was a relatively unknown style among mainstream audiences, as it was primarily played in private clubs, particularly the members only gay clubs in the city. By the mid-70’s, however, disco had reached the mainstream through strong radio play of singers like Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, and ABBA.

By 1977, disco was at its peak with the music charts being dominated by disco singers and the box office success of the film Saturday Night Fever. Towards the end of the decade, disco had become so influential that it started to influence rock and pop artists like Rod Stewart, generating a widespread public backlash and giving rise to the catchphrase ”disco sucks.”

Disco had dominated the music charts for the last half of the 1970’s, but by 1980 enthusiasm for the genre had begun to wane.

Techno and Synthpop

During the first half of the 1980s, keyboards and electronic drum kits figured prominently in a number of hugely successful records. As the music of the 1960s, these songs weren’t specifically created for dancing, but they had an upbeat tempo and fun sensibility that was common in Disco. In the UK, on the other hand, bands like the Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode began releasing a different style of electronic music that also reflects disco’s influence. The synth-heavy style of bands like Depeche Mode is sometimes referred to as synthpop for its blend of popular styles and heavy use of synthesizers.
