The DJs are music creators
The DJ's, the real music creators that make us enjoy so much dancing!! ;)
By definition, being a DJ is, "Providing an entertainment for a wide variety of people
through various means, mostly however, through music." (Shah, 1997).
Obviously anyone can play music, but the difference between a person that is playing music
and a DJ is the mixing that this last one makes.
The basic idea of mixing is that you match the tempo of two songs, then line up the beats until
they are indistinguishable from each other.
The intention is to make it impossible for your audience to tell that you have switched songs on them.
This allows a skilled DJ to keep the music coming nonstop all night, which is very important for a rave DJ.
A good technique (through loops, controllers, scratchs...) can induce to a higher state of consciousness,
a deep trance state, where the DJ becomes a chamán in a tribe ritual (in this case, the party)
