Have you ever been to a club and start dancing to one song but before that song is done another song starts to play?  That is called a dj mix,which is done by taking several different song tracks and mixing them into one continuous track. A dj mix is done by using a mixer and some sort of sound source.  These could be a turntable, CD, or computer sound cards.

Performance of a dj set is usually done in front of an audience or possibly in a studio. A dj mix is chosen by the dj to made into tracks that are played usually for a dance and the type of music depends on the type of dance activity.  If the dance is fast, the track will be up beat but if the activity slows down the beat should be slowed.  The music tracks can be adjusted accordingly by simply adjusting the tempo in the dj mix.

A dj can also decide on the dance floor activity, whether upbeat or slow, just by changing the dj mix.  They can do this simply by using the tracks that best suits the direction in which they want their audience.  This type of tracking can be symbolic in the relationship between the dj and their audience. The dj can also mix set tracks in a studio to set up different mixes to suit different audiences.

Sometimes a dj may set up a dj mix for promotional purposes.  These types of mixes are distributed by CDs or audio files and promote them via websites or on pod casts.  Some of the more popular dj’s mixes are distributed commercially on CDs.  Some sets are distributed to the Internet while others are burned on CDs.

Here  is a few examples of some CDs that represent  dj mixes. One series is called “Back to Mine”.  It is a dj mix that has a series of albums that consist of music that is composed by renown electronic music composers.  Another dj mix is called “Global Underground” and it consist of music that was a symbol of dance music in the 1990s.  The music was composed by several DJs.  If trance type mixes is the style that a person is looking for; then a dj mix called “In Search of Sunrise”, might be what they are looking for.  This mix consists of several installments that were recorded from1999 to 2008.  They were mixes that were represented on two different music tours.
