The term Disk jockey was not invented until around the 1940s, when Jimmy Savile played Jazz to his guests at a party. A few years later, Jimmy Savile was also the first person to use turntables to keep music continuously playing. In this sense, he can be thought of as the father of electronic disk jockeys and their use of turn tables. DJ’s picked up more momentum in the 1950s, with the advent and widespread adoption of radio. Interestingly, electronic disk jockeys would appear at sock hops in this era, and provide music for the event. Also during this time, in Jamaica, people calling themselves DJ’s would blast music outdoors for dance parties and street parties. These could be thought of as the first concerts for these electronic disk jockeys. In the 60s and 70s, with the invention of disco, electronic DJs became more electronic than their predecessors, and could now use more advances in technology than ever before. They could mix tapes so they would seamlessly play the next track or even next tape, ensuring a never ending supply of music.

The 1970s also saw a big jump in electronic DJs, when a DJ called Grand Wizard Theodore accidently invented scratching, a technique still very popular today, even with entirely digital DJs. This effect can be mimicked through digital means, and is still considered the trademark of the DJ. Another trademark of the DJ is more modern, and is the smashup. Here the DJ takes old songs, and combines them in new interesting ways. A good example is a fast techno song and classic oldie song.
