Top Miami DJs and their residency
The modern DJ's role is to create a seamless and extended mix of music for a dance party or club atmosphere. The term "disk jockey" was introduced in 1935 by Walter Winchell, an American radio commentator. It is evolved by the radio personalities who played individually selected recorded music during broadcasting. Nowadays, it has become one of the popular ways to party, especially among young people. III Points and Miami Music Week are top two festivals where the local DJs can show off their talents to the world. Here are Miami’s top Djs based on the party promoters and industry insiders' recommendations and popularity.
