About this Quiz
DJing has a rich and fascinating history, starting from its humble beginnings in the 1960s to its current status as a global phenomenon. The art of DJing began with the use of turntables and vinyl records, where DJs would 'spin' records to create a continuous flow of music. This was a revolutionary concept at the time, as it allowed for the creation of a non-stop musical journey, rather than just playing individual songs. Key figures such as Jimmy Savile, who is often credited as the first DJ, and Francis Grasso, known for inventing 'slip-cueing', played a significant role in the early days of DJing. As technology advanced, so did the techniques used by DJs. The introduction of mixers allowed DJs to smoothly transition between tracks, while techniques like scratching and beat juggling added a new level of creativity to DJ sets. The rise of digital DJing in the late 1990s and early 2000s marked another significant milestone in DJ history, with software like FinalScratch allowing DJs to manipulate digital audio files as if they were vinyl records. Today, DJing is a major part of the global music industry, with superstar DJs like David Guetta and Skrillex becoming household names.
