A DJ was traditionally known for standing behind a record player spinning records and making announcements between songs. However times have moved on and so has the brief for the modern DJ no longer does the DJ stand there and just line up the next song with a new style known as mixing he has to blend one track into another without loosing a beat he finds a track that has the same BPM (beats per minute) as the one currently playing and fades from one to the other in a seamless fashion, sometimes even mixing the two tracks together. Another part of this mixing is when a DJ might take two or three tracks and mix and blend them continuously as if they were one song. So basically what the modern DJ does is create a new song using recorded material from other artists.Saturday, March 26, 2011

Ger Thompson
Ger Thompson interview 24th March 2011This week Shane Supple spoke to singer songwriter Ger Thompson who is originally from Dublin but now living in locally. He moved to Cork with his wife Eileen whom he met while studying at Drama Collage. He spent most of his working life as an actor even after he got married. About a year and a half ago he was laid off from his job, like so many others in this current climate and he found it hard to adjust from working every day to not working. But while one door closes as they say another will open and he found that he had time to finish some projects he had always wanted to do but never had the time.
