I get asked all the time what exactly a DJ is... The term DJ comes from Disc Jockey when we spun vinyl on two turntables (I still have mine) and a mixer. Today, a true DJ will have a 2-4 channel controller board with jog-wheels that work similar to turntables that control mp3's in a DJ software package on a laptop (or a stand-alone controller). But its so much more than that... A true DJ will know how to beat match, hot-mix music and take people on a musical journey. Then comes the ability to use the mic and motivate people to dance. Finally, we have the cool lights to go with our pro-grade sound system and that rounds out a good DJ. Anything less is a 'Juke Box' or simply a music service and NOT a DJ. Beware of people that call themselves a DJ and shows up with a home stereo and a laptop. You truly do get what you pay for.
