DJ Karleboy @ Pecha Kucha Worcester Vol. 3 [HQ]

I was born and raised in Ireland and in 1991 after attending one of the first Rave parties in Dublin I became hooked on electronic music. The then emerging Rave scene was new, fresh, exciting, and the DJs were suddenly being cast in a new light they were rapidly becoming the new stars. I was amazed at the way the DJ was controlling the entire room, and the music had a grip on every clubber in the place. The music never seemed to stop but just morphed seamlessly from one track to another, mixed perfectly where each record was married to the next, and the DJ created a musical journey of highs and lows. I have been DJing for 14 years now and over that time I have played small clubs and venues and larger ones with up to 1200 people. I love the excitement of fusing the records together and watching people enjoy the sounds that have them moving in rhythm to the beat.
My presentation will be an introduction to club DJing. I will describe the differences between what most people think a DJ is v. what those raised in club culture consider a DJ to be. I will also describe the kind of music I play ‐ house music. I will give an overview of how this music came to be, detail the multiple genres that have spawned from it since its inception, and describe its global appeal. I will also talk about mixing the music live, describe beat matching, what equipment is required, and what skill a DJ needs. I will discuss the rise of club culture and its impact and how globally DJs are superstars who have huge followings, who do tours, and release albums. I will also talk about how technology of DJing is changing and what this means to a clubber when they go out dancing.
