What are the Different Kind of DJs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are three major kinds of DJs: Mobile, Radio, and Club.

Mobile DJs are the most common. They generally work parties and
special events (ie: weddings, birthdays, etc.) onsite. This sort of work
usually entails entertaining a wide array of tastes and age groups, as well as
a bit of MC'ing.

Radio DJs are the least common. Their task is to make sure there is
never any dead air time by filling it with either their words, or music.
Again, there is a certain mass appeal that needs to be worked on and
being a Mr. Personality is important.

Club DJs can be found, but aren't nearly as prominent at mobile DJs.
They have a very specific clientele (age group wise) and are expected to play
the latest and greatest all the time. This sort of DJing often requires the
most technical know-how on mixing since style and uniqueness are critical to
establish a name for yourself and the club you work for. Rave DJs tend
to fit into this category because of the similar mixing skills required.
