disc-jockey
Turntable music selector
A disc-jockey is a person who plays recorded music, either on radio or at events like clubs and parties.
The term comes from the original medium—phonograph discs—though the spelling disk jockey is equally common.
DJs select and sequence tracks, and may mix or manipulate them live.
The disc-jockey kept the dance floor packed all night.
