World DJ Day – 9th of March
World DJ day is not only an official fest (something in this way) but also an important charity event, which takes place in 2002 (was founded), on behalf of the International club industry. Every year on March 9 in World Day DJ around the world makes a charity event to help children’s organizations.
The initiators of the event are the World DJ Fund Foundation and the organization of Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy, which uses music to treat children and adults. All money earned by the DJs / Clubs / Radio stations on that day go to various children’s fonds and international institutions.
For several years, an annual tradition of charity was supported by known media like MTV, Radio 1, Galaxy, Mixmag, DJ, Muzik, Hello, Face, Loaded and FHM, as well as the stars of the international dance scene: Pete Tong, Danny Tenaglia, Sasha, Dave Seaman, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Carl Cox, Seb Fontaine, Sister Bliss and many others.
And a little part of history. A disc jockey, also known as DJ (or deejay), is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Originally, disk referred to phonograph records, while disc referred to the Compact Disc, and has become the more common spelling. Today, the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the medium.
There are several types of disc jockeys. Radio DJs introduce and play the music that is broadcast on AM, FM, shortwave, digital, or internet radio stations. Club DJs select and play music in bars, nightclubs, discoth? ques, at raves, or even in a stadium. Hip hop disc jockeys select and play music using multiple turntables, often to back up one or more MCs, and they may also do turntable scratching to create percussive sounds. In reggae, the disc jockey (deejay) is a vocalist who raps, “toasts”, or chats over pre-recorded rhythm tracks while the individual choosing and playing them is referred to as a selector. Mobile DJs travel with portable sound systems and play recorded music at a variety of events.
World DJ Day is a global fundraising effort to benefit many children’s charities around the world. March 9th is the date for the largest global fund-raising activity the dance music industry has ever been involved in. On the night, and the week running up to it, the global dance community will be working together to raise money for international children’s charities. DJs, clubs, promoters, magazines, radio, TV stations, and records labels are all involved in the fundraising. From auctioning off an A-list DJ to holding a top DJ soundclash and many exciting ideas. World DJ Day is an annual event and is shaping up to become one of the most important dates in dance music’s calendar.
Essentially it’s a week of fundraising that will involve every member of the international dance community. This will be the first time the whole industry has worked together for one cause. A truly unique event that has the support of everyone involved.
