  • Cue Point Aesthetics: the Performing Disc Jockey In
    CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE By Benjamin De Ocampo Andres A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology Committee Membership Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Dr. Renee Byrd, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Graduate Coordinator May 2016 ABSTRACT CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE Benjamin De Ocampo Andres This qualitative research explores how social relations and intersections of popular culture, technology, and gender present in performance DJing. The methods used were interviews with performing disc jockeys, observations at various bars, and live music venues. Interviews include both women and men from varying ages and racial/ethnic groups. Cultural studies/popular culture approaches are utilized as the theoretical framework, with the aid of concepts including resistance, hegemony, power, and subcultures. Results show difference of DJ preference between analog and digital formats. Gender differences are evident in performing DJ's experiences on and off the field due to patriarchy in the DJ scene. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and Foremost, I would like to thank my parents and immediate family for their unconditional support and love. You guys have always come through in a jam and given up a lot for me, big up. To "the fams" in Humboldt, you know who you are, thank you so much for holding me down when the time came to move to Arcata, and for being brothers from other mothers. A shout out to Burke Zen for all the jokes cracked, and cigarettes smoked, at "Chinatown." You help get me through this and I would have lost it along time ago.

The astonishing number of people I would like to acknowledge shows how numerous were the dark alleys and obstacles I had to transpose during this last year. Firstly, to my father and mother for outstanding support, not only through this work but for the two decades before. To my advisor and co-advisor, Prof. Jo~aoMadeiras Pereira and Prof. Alfredo Ferreira Jr., for strong belief on Mt-Djing from square one. Moreover I kindly acknowledge the contribution of my colleague Diogo Mariano, whom I thank for all the support given, endless brainstorming sessions and late work nights. A word of appreciation to Ricardo Jota and Bruno de Ara´ujo,for the interest and support to this work, shown in the form of the many conversations exchanged upon this subject. Other colleagues have their place within this thank-you note, namely Tiago Ribeiro and Guilherme Fernandes, for their help in reviewing and discussing the contents. And at last, but (definitely) not least, to all DJs and accompanying group, that took the time and effort to contribute so much to this work - that ultimately is theirs more than it is mine - specially: Pedro Farinha, Pedro Sousa (aka Alfredo Carajillo), Jo~aoGomes (aka Mush Von Namek), Igor Sousa and Nuno Moita.

  • Mixtapes and Turntablism: Djs’ Perspectives on Musical Shape
    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 8, No. 1, 2013 Mixtapes and turntablism: DJs’ perspectives on musical shape ALINKA E. GREASLEY[1] University of Leeds HELEN M. PRIOR[2] King’s College London ABSTRACT: The notion of musical shape is widely used by performing musicians, but most studies have focused on classical performing contexts. This paper extends this research to DJs performing on turntables, chosen in light of existing evidence from a questionnaire study suggesting that shape may be a useful concept for some DJs. This paper presents an interview study investigating the use and understanding of musical shaping by three professional DJs with varied backgrounds. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings suggest that DJs do use the notion of shape implicitly when planning and executing their sets, and that playing sets without any shaping involves playing the music badly. DJs reported using the idea of shaping to modify a track while it was playing; to help control the transition between tracks; and in relation to the overall trajectory of a set. There was evidence that participants understood musical shaping multi-modally, through gesture and visual representation as well as sound; and results show ways in which DJs draw on heuristics to signify complex combinations of technical devices that create a particular musical shape or sound. The findings are considered in relation to existing work on performers’ use of musical shape as well as work on the practice of DJs. Submitted 2013 January 15; accepted 2013 July 23. KEYWORDS: musical shaping, DJs, mixtapes, turntablism, scratching INTRODUCTION THE notion of musical shape is widely used by performing musicians, but has only recently become more common as a focus of study.

  • How to DJ: Skills, Attitudes and Basic Mixing Techniques Introduction
    How to DJ: Skills, Attitudes and Basic Mixing Techniques Introduction This page covers some comments and opinions on the basic skills and attitude of a DJ. How does a typical audience behave ? What they expect and how they react. Afterward we give a set of recurring, but wrong, ideas about 'DJ-ing'. The Audience The audience is the most important of all. They are the final judge of what you're doing. A party without people is no party. It is as simple as that. People can be at a party for a number of reasons They are there because they are organizing the party. People can come for social contact. To take pictures of the room (I hate the Japanese tendency to run around with half a ton of lenses and photo machinery) To drink & forget their problems. As the night goes on, people will become drunk or stoned (or both at the same time :). Dirty Trick: If you throw salt over the floor before people come in then the audience will drink more later on the evening. To dance and have a good time. These people are the ones which will be your judge. People can also be there because they came along with other people. These people aren't expecting anything. So don't expect anything from them. So, a party is not that difficult at all. Nevertheless some DJ's have quite a strange picture of what's going on at parties. Some Recurring Misconceptions A number of DJ's have the tendency to act as if they are god.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository CONTINUING THE QUEST FOR LEGITIMACY: THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF HIP-HOP DJING EDUCATION Megan Ross A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Musicology in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Megan Ross ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan Ross: Continuing the Quest for Legitimacy: The Institutionalization of Hip-Hop DJing Education (Under the direction of Mark Katz) Since the early 2000s, many hip-hop DJs have taken on teaching roles in educational institutions, whether in secondary schools, universities, or for-profit ventures. This thesis explores this development as part of an ongoing quest for legitimacy within hip-hop and the broader world and also as a response to the increasing dominance of digital technologies. Teaching offers DJs the opportunity to preserve their foundational values of innovation, experimentation, and personalization. Their approach tends to be fundamentally multimodal, emphasizing the use of sight, sound, and touch to demonstrate the artistry necessary to becoming a DJ. There are many benefits to formal education, such as bringing about gender equality in the field, as well as concerns related to standardization and authenticity of pedagogical methods based on informal learning traditions. My study is more broadly relevant to popular music institutionalization, authenticity debates in hip-hop education, and informal and formal approaches to learning music.
