Music: focus on the DJ profession
(France 2)
Have disc jockeys (DJs) become cult? In France, the French Touch movement has established itself throughout the world, with precursors like David Guetta or Bob Sinclar, but also heirs: DJ Snake or Kungs. Decryption.
Disc jockeys (DJs), these record players, have become artists, and even music stars. After the war, annoyed by American soldiers who only wanted slow songs, Régine, queen of the Parisian night, took over the turntables to make people dance as she wanted. DJs are also there to introduce new styles, and they have even invented their own music, such as hip-hop. It comes from New York (United States), initiated by DJs. Another invention: scratching, which transforms turntables into musical instruments.

A world that makes you dream: the DJ no longer hides at the back of nightclubs. Now in full light, it is him that we come to see. The rockstars of the 21st century are indeed the DJs.
