The Birth of Live DJing (1940s-1950s) Following World War II, DJs moved from the radio studio to live social events, replacing expensive live bands with recorded music.

First Dance Party: In 1943, Jimmy Savile hosted the first known live DJ dance party in Otley, England, playing jazz records.

Continuous Play: Savile also claimed to be the first to use twin turntables (welded together) in 1947 to eliminate silence between records.

Jamaican Sound Systems: In the late 1950s, Kingston''s ghettos developed "sound systems"-massive mobile setups where a "selector" played records and a "toaster" chanted rhythmically over the beats, planting the seeds for hip-hop.

The Technical Revolution (1960s-1970s) The 1970s transformed DJing into an artistic discipline through new techniques and specialized hardware.

Beatmatching: In the late 1960s, Francis Grasso pioneered beatmatching at NYC''s Sanctuary, using two turntables and specialized mixers to transition between songs seamlessly.

The First Mixer: In 1971, engineer Alex Rosner built "Rosie," the first mixer specifically designed for DJs, which included cueing capabilities through headphones.

Hip-Hop & Turntablism: In 1973, DJ Kool Herc invented the "breakbeat" technique by isolating percussive sections of records and looping them across two turntables. This era also saw the accidental invention of scratching by Grand Wizzard Theodore in 1975.

DJing Began on Radio

In the early days of radio (1920s-1930s), announcers played live music, news, and entertainment - but once they began playing recorded music and chatting between tracks, they became what we know as disc jockeys.

Radio DJs controlled the playlist, influenced what people heard, and built audiences - before clubs or parties were DJ cultures.

The Radio Origins (1900s-1930s) The role of the DJ began as a radio-based activity, simply focused on playing individual records for listeners rather than mixing them.

The First Broadcast: In 1906, Reginald Fessenden made the first experimental broadcast of recorded music.

The First "DJ": In 1909, 16-year-old Ray Newby began regularly playing records over the airwaves from a small spark transmitter in California.

Coining the Term: The phrase "disc jockey" was coined in 1935 by American radio commentator Walter Winchell to describe Martin Block, whose show "Make Believe Ballroom" famously used records to create the illusion of a live ballroom performance.

Bass Kings 69 Boyz (Thrill Da Playa)

Posted by southernlistic — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 16:05 GMT

69 Boyz is an American Miami bass and hip hop duo: Van "Thrill Da Playa" Bryant, from Jacksonville, Florida, and Barry "Fast" Wright, from Orlando, Florida, The group was initiated by Thrill Da Playa with the assistance of producers C.C. Lemonhead and Jay Ski (of Chill Deal, Quad City DJs, and 95 South). Thrill Da Player - The driving force behind one of the South's leading party rap groups, 69 Boyz, Thrill da Playa spun off a less successful solo career during the late '90s while still keeping the Boyz going strong. Born Van Bryant, the rapper/producer grew up in Jacksonville, FL, and spent a little time overseas in the Army. Upon returning from Germany, where he had been stationed, Thrill hooked up with producer C.C. Lemonhead, who knew Bryant from his days of high-school football (where the artist originally earned his nickname). Thrill contributed to Lemonhead's solo album, Bass to Another Level (1993); and the producer best-known for 95 South's "Whoot (There It Is)" returned the favor, overseeing the debut 69 Boyz album, 199Quad (1994), and its enormously successful club hit, "Tootsee Roll." The song made an impact across the States, infiltrating even the pop mainstream as a novelty hit. The follow-up album, The Wait Is Over (1998), took several years to prepare, and by the time it did drop, the fervor over "Tootsee Roll" had subsided. Following The Wait Is Over, Thrill began his solo career with The Best of Home Bass (1999), which compiled some of his previous work for the underground label. After another 69 Boyz album, 2069 (2000), Thrill issued a pair of solo releases, Dunks N D's (2001) and The Return of the Big Bronco (2001). https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCgZfg_Uovez2u7px6n4FldQ gfl_live@yahoo.com https://soundcloud.com/the-69-boyz https://www.facebook.com/69boyz https://www.instagram.com/official69boyz/ https://www.instagram.com/thrilldaplaya/ https://www.tiktok.com/@official69boyz
