Podcast: DJ Culture Introduction Hello, my name is Muireann McDaid and today I will be talking about DJ culture. DJ culture began in the 20th century and has grown hugely over the last decade. - Talk about the techniques used by djs - Tableturn the equipment the use - Avicii- background - Song- Wake me Up , musical borrowing when Lurgan the Irish college in Connemara did an Irish version of it Techniques used by DJ When I am in a nightclub or at a concert where a DJ is playing I have always wondered how a DJ changes from one song to another without a gap in the middle of two tracks. After my research, I have learned that there are several different techniques which allow the DJ to change from one track to another without having a silence …show more content…
Verse-1 (Primarily Country/Folk) The first verse is a mix of both the country/folk and the electropop. Chorus-1 (Country/Folk and Dance) IN the chorus there is a fusion of the country/folk and a dance style. It has a distinct rhythm which makes you want to tap your foot. The acoustic guitar along with the voice gives us the country/folk style. At the end of the chorus a synth pad is introduced, and this implies the electropop style. Verse-2 (Primarily Country/Folk) Its mostly Country/Folk Bridge (Country/Folk and Electro) Two genres fused together, both the country/folk and the electropop. The voice and the acoustic guitar are the features of the country/folk where the EQ effect is a feature of the electropop genre. At the end of this section the synth is becoming a bigger part of the song. Lurgan Version Differences between the original and the Irish version: The main difference is that the version Lurgan did on this song is in Irish. It is sung as a big group instead of just one person. (Example of both will be
Normally at a rave, a DJ "spins" to create the music that the ravers hear. The act of spinning is the art of mixing songs together using different pitches, different speeds, and an equalizer to create an ever-flowing, ever-changing wall of sound. In effect, artists record techno songs, which are then reinterpreted and mixed with other techno songs, creating a spontaneous new song.
Throughout history, there has always been some form of music; however, the form and style have changed over time. During the twentieth century, the gap between classical music and the “popular” music widened, as people picked more of what they thought sounded pleasant. One of the popular styles today is country and an example is “Body Like a Back Road” by Sam Hunt, which was released in February 2017 as a single from his upcoming album. “Body Like a Back Road” is a song that has a complex and changing texture which is created by varied musical elements and composition throughout the piece.

The two songs which shall be scrutinized shall be Roxanne. Originally released in 1978, it was performed by ‘The Police’. The cover version El Tango de Roxanne was rearranged by Mariano Mores in Moulin Rouge, 2001.
This creates a beautiful blending of the two parts together and shows that this song was written to showcase the vocals.
The paper will focus on comparing two different songs by discussing their context and highlighting the similarities and differences between both chosen songs. The comparison will be based on the background information for each song as well as peripheral information about the albums. The comparison will also include any contextual similarities and differences between the songs. The two chosen songs for the comparison are: 'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell and 'The Times They Are a-Changin' by Bob Dylan.
Kool DJ Herc opened the door to the world for many up and comers such as Grandmaster Flash. DJ Grandmaster Flash and his group the Furious Five were hip-hop, greatest innovators, transcending the genres’ party music origins to explore the full scope of its lyrical and sonic horizons. Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler, began spinning records as a team growing up in the Bronx. By age 19, while attending technical school courses in electronics during the day, he was also d-jaying on a local disco circuit. Over time he developed a series of groundbreaking techniques including “cutting” (moving between tracks exactly on beat), “back spinning” (manually turning records to repeat brief snippets of sound), and “phasing” (manipulating turntable speeds). In short Grandmaster Flash created the basic vocabulary, which DJ’s continue to follow even today (Brewster and Broughton, 2000).
The song was compressed and had extreme EQ on it. The sample of Daft Punk that Kanye West used on the track, it left many glitches within the clip that have been corrected by Marroquin, he lowering the volume for several milliseconds on each. In the intro they a cut-up sample of Daft Punk robotic vocal that continues to play in the background at a decreased tempo. When the song track enters the
The song begins immediately, with no intro of any sort. However, the first line, "Take out the papers and the trash" is sung a capella, before an instrumental of crashing drums, bass (I think, not sure quite what it is), and a saxophone. A piano also plays chords within the instrumental, filling space that that would otherwise be somewhat empty, although it is not at the forefront. The bass is also not extremely well defined, but it creates a dancelike feel to the song that adds more of a musical aspect of the song and is what a listener might subliminally bob their head to during the song. The lyrics are sung very loudly, almost as if the singers were shouting at the listeners. At 0:47, the bridge begins, marked by a jumpy and exciting saxophone solo that maintains the song's energy and intensity. During this solo, the bass, drums, and piano continue their beats. The song ends with a repetition of the song's title, "Yakety Yak" which could be considered a coda although it is really just an extension of the chorus. During some lines of the song, the instrumental cuts out, bringing front the already distinguished vocals. Lyrically, the song is pretty simple, with the lyrics being what a parent might tell a disobedient child. Structurally, the song is also very basic, with very little distinctness between the verse and the
Thesis Statement: Electronic Dance Music is more than just bops and scratching sounds; it’s a way of life.
DJs have one simple task: make people dance. Or that's what it used to be.
a. DJ Kool Herc originated the idea of extending beats and isolating beats by using two record players.
Introduction This assignment will place two jazz songs side by side and compare various factors from each of them. The factors being compared will be the compositional techniques employed in the writing of the pieces, the musical elements that can be found within the pieces and how they relate to the genres from which the songs came and the historical and social context that surrounded the years in which the songs were first composed. The songs that will be compared are Take Five performed by Dave Brubeck and ‘Round Midnight which was written and performed by Thelonious Monk.
