Hello.
I'm about to have a speech in school and gonna talk about Dj'ing, the problem is that i don't have so much vital information and history about it, which I probably must have...
Now i ask you guys where I can find some nice info etc, about this wonderful culture? Haven't find anything on the net yet...

Thx in advance!!
Thern

Yes exactly. I'd also like to add the ability to take people on a journey. That's something you cannot learn technically. You either have it or you don't.

Well think of some topics.

Eequipment used and developed would be a great one.
Start of with the first mixers and turntables right up to serato, midi conrollers, xone3d etc etc.

Well known djs and such.
Tiesto (wether you like him or not, he was the first dj to have is own concert and play at the olympics, wether they are good or not its up to you it doesnt realy matter right now, we TAs get sidetracked and hijack threads to easily... im doing it right now )
Grandmaster flash! Oaki etc etc

Maybe talk about djing coping stuff from rock bands and performers and such.

Scratching.
I hope these help abit.
