Early Beginnings

The art of DJing began in the 1930s when radio disc jockeys started spinning vinyl records on the air. As time went on, DJs began appearing in clubs, using twin turntables to mix records without pause. This early form of DJing evolved into a performance art by the 1970s, especially with the rise of disco and hip-hop in New York City.

The Digital Era

With the rise of digital technology in the late 1990s and 2000s, DJing transformed once again. Vinyl gave way to CDs, then USB drives and DJ software like Serato and Rekordbox. Today, DJs use advanced controllers and effects to create dynamic, high-energy performances at music festivals, clubs, and even online livestreams.
