Next, I want to talk about DJ expertise. DJ's professional skill is to pick up songs. It's not difficult, but it takes more thought and time to pick a good song. The concept of receiving songs is to mix two songs together, so that people can continue dancing without interruption. Speaking of it, picking up songs is a kind of mixing, which makes each series of songs sound as good as a song. Therefore, we must pay attention to the mastery of integrity and emotional intelligence, among which emotional intelligence is very important. And a mixer will seriously affect the control of emotional intelligence. If the emotional quotient of two songs is not very close, it is easy to hear the change of songs. Some DJs in China are not very strict about EQ, but they should pay attention to EQ in theory. And you must remember to hit each other, four eights against four eights, not the second eights against the third eights, but the first eights against the second eights, which is the biggest taboo. The last requirement is that you can practice the beat as soon as possible, and the overlapping beat should be at least eight beats, while TRANCE DJ requires more than sixteen beats, because the songs overlap for a long time after receiving TRANCE, and the songs are more delicate, so special attention should be paid to emotional intelligence. Basically, these are projects. If you meet all the requirements, basically, you can go to the ballroom to play songs! However, as a DJ, it is best to listen to every record carefully, so as to be a professional DJ. Of course, familiarity with dance music is also important.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) the concept of BPM
The basic structure of electronic dance music-the concept of cycle In recent years, all electronic dance music has certain structure and rules. No matter how complicated and changeable it is, there is also a certain structure to follow. The same is true of electronic dance music with drums: one beat is equal to one word, eight characters (beat) is one sentence, and four sentences are one paragraph (that is, 4×8=32 beats), so it is not too difficult to find the basic structure of dance music. It's easy to identify if you beat the drum every time, but it's not so easy to identify if it's broken or intermittent without a drum, but it's still done according to the basic form of four people beating a paragraph.
Description of intransitive verb BPM
1. What is BPM?
1, BPM definition:
BPM is the abbreviation of BESAT PER MINUTE, which is willing to "beat every minute".
Quantity ",that is, the total number of drums per minute in disco music.
2. How to calculate BPM:
BPM is generally calculated by 8 beats per bar of music, which can be divided into:
(1) Count the beats per minute with a watch or horse watch.
(2) Use TEMPO (beat) on synthesizers, drums and other equipment to calculate.
(3) Use professional mixing tables such as VESTAX and NUMARK or BPM beat meter special for CD player for calculation.
(4) Calculate by minute-and-second multiplication, computer and other methods. For example, if the BPM of a song is 12 8 beats and the BPM value is 12×8=96 beats, then the BPM of this song is 96 beats.
3, the role of BPM:
The main job of DJ is to connect each dance perfectly, arrange the BPM of dance music from slow to fast, and change a dance music gradually and circularly, so as to improve and master the dancer's mood. In order to achieve this goal, we must learn to choose the appropriate dance music and ensure that the BPM of the next connected dance music does not exceed 10 beat. Generally speaking, experienced DJ will choose BPM within plus or minus 3-4 beats. Although the turntable can be adjusted to the positive and negative beat points, when BPM is associated with a lot, the dance music will be out of tune by pulling the speed to the highest or lowest position through the variable-speed high-speed part of the turntable. Therefore, when mixing and connecting dance music, it is very important to choose the BPM spacing of each dance music properly.
4. Every DJ should not only know the importance of BPM, but also know the importance of "body rhyme".
Literally, "body rhythm" is the rhythm, rhythm and sense of melody of the body, which is as important as BPM, because every DJ needs to use "body rhythm" to count the beats and experience the rhythm cycle when he meets some drums or strange halls with less obvious rhythm.
