I’ve picked the unsuitable time to be walking across the Yard. It’s 1 p.m., and students leaving prestige are clogging up all the walkways. I rush past one girl who is in the system of disentangling her headphones, and slide around a pair of men who are walking side by side but in soothe, as one sends a text message on his phone. I spot someone I allow and wave, but his headphones are in and his head is down.

The sight of the detached and plugged-in is all too base on Cambridge streets. First introduced by the Walkman and universalized by the MP3 actor, portable music-playing devices have shifted the purpose of music for a new generation. A corresponding backlash has occurred against digital music, as music aesthetes have sought older listening media for higher sensible quality and perceived authenticity. With most music players of the olden times now easily accessible, well-defined camps of listeners have emerged based on disagreements about the merits of each system and, by addition, about the purpose of music itself.

A DJ plays music for audiences at real venues, or entertains listeners on the radio.

They can use various formats, including vinyl, CD or digital MP3, and a range of equipment such as computers, turntables, mixers, microphones and amplifiers.

As a beat DJ you might:

PLAY and mix records in clubs or bars, to create feel or keep people dancing;

CHOOSE music to suit your audience’s drop and the venue’s music policy;

OPERATE lighting and visual effects in lifetime to the beat;

CREATE your own sounds by manipulating beats, using samples, adding auxiliary music and sound effects;

OR WORK with an MC who raps or sings over the music.

As a boom box DJ or presenter, you would present a radio programme in your own style.

You could select the music to be played, keep up an entertaining and natural flow of gossip, interact with the audience through phone-ins, e-mails and texts, keep to a very penny-pinching timing schedule, interview studio guests, run studio equipment to play music, pre-record news, jingles and advertisements (known as ‘driving the desk’) and about ideas with the producer, write scripts and prepare playlists for subsequent shows.
