Hello AA members!
Recently I have discovered House music and have fallen deeply in love with what I have heard so far. I've never been into this type of music in the past so come to this genre of music with no real understanding about it. I've been watching youtube videos of Frankie Knuckles performances at various clubs, and absolutely LOVE what I'm hearing.
Yet at the same time, I just do not understand what in fact he (or any DJ) is doing at the table. The comments to these videos speak of how this performance is "legendary" and how Frankie is "playing his heart out" or something like that. But what is he doing? Frankie isn't playing the bass, isn't singing the vocals, isn't playing the keyboards.
Could someone help me understand what it is that these DJ's are doing when they are at the table? All I see are seemingly random knob twiddling. How is this performing?
Absolutely NO disrespect intended. I love this music and need to understand it better so that I can appreciate the DJ's for what they do.
Thank you AA community!!
