DJ Music
The initials 'DJ' stand for 'disc jockey'. Originally DJs only played recorded music to audiences eg through radio stations, at music events. Now, DJs use a combination of pre-recorded music and original electronic music to create long compositions that use a timeline structure.

- samples
- loops
- covers
- remixes
