Slide Notes

This brings us to the second role that a DJ has, and that is of a music producer. In order to stand out from the crowd, and to "be together, not the same" in the world of EDM, DJs must also produce their own original music. They need to hunker down behind the screens, call up the software, and get composing. If they don't, they run the risk of becoming irrelevant. In the world of EDM, getting noticed among all the other DJs is not easy, especially since the technology makes mixing digital music so available and accessible. So, if a DJ also produces their own original tracks or special remixes of others' work, then they can mix those into their live sets and create an altogether unique experience for the listener.

CARACTERÍSTICAS

  • Cuatro tramos extensibles de aluminio.
  • Diseñado especialmente para line arrays de pequeño/mediano formato.
So, let's dive in further and learn more about the work of a DJ and see what other connections to teaching we can make. We've touched on it so far, but let's clearly identify the two primary roles of a DJ in EDM.

  • Con dos barras traseras para dar mayor estabilidad.
  • Potentes pasadores de seguridad.
  • Con ruedas para fácil transporte.
Now, what we know about history is that DJs have been playing sets of songs for years live and on the radio. Such well-known DJs include the likes of Casey Kasem and Dick Clark. So the concept of the work of a DJ isn't all that unfamiliar. But modern DJs aren't just playing the recorded songs of a live band or singer, they're doing things much more differently nowadays.

DJs, Producers, and Electronic Dance Music have seen a meteoric rise in popularity over recent years. What do DJs and teachers have in common, and what can educators learn from the success that DJs have in "bringing the crowd" with their fans, especially young people?

FICHA TÉCNICA.

  • Peso de 152 kg.
  • Carga mínima de 30 kg.
  • Carga máxima de 270 kg.
  • Altura mínima de 1.96 m.
  • Altura máxima de 5.98 m.
While the work of being a DJ might seem simplistic, it's actually much more complex, because not only does it require technical musical skill, it requires creating an experience--an epic and memorable experience--for the fans and listeners.

NORMAS Y CERTIFICADOS.

  • La torre cumple con CE y BGV C1
  • El cabestraste con 2006/43 EG, EN 13157 y EN 12100.
A problem arises for the work of DJs when it comes to playing live sets. It used to be the case, before the age of digital music, that a DJ had their own personal record collection they carried around with them. This collection was unique to their own access to various record stores and their choices. It helped distinguish one DJ, and their live sets, from others.

But now, music is digital. Everyone has access to basically the same tracks. So playing the songs of other artists in your live sets is nothing special anymore. DJs have to go beyond using pre-published material when they play a concert; otherwise, how would they stand out among the crowd?
8.

El Marcado CE (o Marca CE) proviene del francés y significa "Conformité Européenne" o de Conformidad Europea y es una marca europea para ciertos grupos o productos industriales.

Some things that happen at the live events through the work of DJs include:

They bring the crowd - there is mass appeal, a positive reputation, and a high-level of interest in attending

The music engages and captivates, but also uplifts the fans. It's like going to a high-energy party, or taking the best cheering section energy of a high school football game and amplifying it!
9.

BGV C1 es una normativa que regula los elementos de escenario y producción en la industria del entretenimiento.
Adoptar dicha normativa es completamente voluntario, a excepción de Alemania donde es obligatorio.
La aplicación de esta normativa sobre las torres elevadoras es muy recomendable debido a que en el sector del espectáculo y los eventos, las torres son usadas para desplazar cargas sobre artistas, personal técnico y público.

The equipment and software needed to produce electronic dance music is affordable and accessible. Many DJs and Producers of EDM are able to create tracks with little more than a laptop computer and some software.

Festival Attendance

  • EN 13157 es un estándar de fabricación para manivelas y cadenas.
So we see that DJs are doing two things, mainly, in their work: producing original music and playing live DJ sets. So let's look at some more data: The live events have become increasingly popular, especially among the Millennial crowd. On March 27, 160,000 people will descend upon Miami, FL for the Ultra Music Festival. In two months, about a 100,000 people will come to Detroit's Hart Plaza for the Movement Festival. Over in Las Vegas, nearly a half a million people make the voyage to Electric Daisy Carnival. What's perhaps most impressive is that just in the last decade, Detroit had its own home-grown Electronic Music Festival, a free event like the Jazz Festival. It brought upwards of over a million people!

So, it seems that the work of a DJ has a special knack for attracting and engaging young people. That seems like something that would be valuable for educators to leverage.

Electronic Music Festival
Today techno music has caught on, and Detroit hosts an epic annual music festival that was launched here at the turn of the century.

Complicated Work

Requires High-Level Technical Knowledge & Skill
While the technology makes it accessible, make no mistake: the work of music production in the electronic era is complicated. You must understand math and science, as well as have deft computer skills and a musical foundation to be successful.

Managing Lots of Complex Equipment

The equipment alone looks like it has a steep learning curve!
