Why DJ?

[Tommie Hoffman]

The basic point of DJing is to play music. You spend the whole time
going from one deck to the next deck, playing a different tune on each
deck as the night progresses, but sometimes, when the big tunes are
out, you'll hear them played several times throughout the night.
The point of Djing in the dance side of life is to mix these tunes
together in a way that keeps people dancing, and in a lot of cases,
don't even notice that the tune has changed to another one (also know
as known as seamless mixing). There's many ways to make the
transitions from tune to tune seamless , the most simple part of this
is to make sure that the bass drum beats occur at the same time.
So, the important thing is to keep the bass beats flowing through the
sets, not that that means there's always bass drums banging away
(there is parts of a tune called 'Breakdowns' or 'drops' without
beats, which are just as important as the parts that has beats). It's
just important that the beat is constant between tunes, so the people
on the floor don't have to do a quick 2 step shuffle to get back in
time with the beats.
The point of it all is aimed towards playing music live. The big basis
behind the house/trance genre is the rhythmic booming bass which makes
the people on the dance floor want to dance. A huge part of the Trance
scene, the constant bass beats leading to a kind of trance like state
- or something like that.
