question: When a DJ gets hired to play at a public event, do they mix their own music or have they paid the rights to other artists beats?
comment: They can do both. A Disk Jockey is as the name suggests someone who changes disks on the turntable. So when you get hired as a DJ you are paid to play music for the guests depending on the atmosphere. This is almost always assumed to be other peoples music. You need agreements to be able to play the music and then report what music you played and pay a fee to the record company. It is possible for a DJ to mix their own music either live or a premix. When hired it will often be specified in the contract what the club owner expects from the DJ. If a mediocre artist gets hired to DJ in a club it is usually to play other peoples music although he can often get away with playing a couple of his premixes or live mixing a bit.
passages: He is working with Damon C. Scott, the vocalist on the number one track by Storm Queen and MK, "Look Right Through", Rachel K Collier (Ray Foxx) and has worked on remixes for Wilkinson and Becky Hill.

   Like "EP7" before it and their 2003 release "Draft 7.30", Booth and Brown make use of generative sequences on "Confield". However, in an interview following the release of "Draft 7:30", Booth explained that although the beats they create using generative sequences may seem completely random to some, he and Brown exercised tight control over the limits and rules of what the beats could do.

   The nature of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor's contribution to 1000 Homo DJs' records has been debated. What is certain is that Reznor recorded the original vocals for "Supernaut." This performance was not officially used because Reznor's label, TVT Records, refused to allow his appearance on the release. Reznor's version would ultimately be released as "Supernaut (Trent Reznor Vocal Version)" by TVT four years later on the retrospective "", following TVT's purchase of Wax Trax!.
   Since 1987, the duo mixed many Stock Aitken Waterman hit song productions such as Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", Kylie Minogue's "Got to Be Certain" and "The Loco-Motion", Dollar's "O L'amour", Brother Beyond's "The Harder I Try", "He Ain't No Competition" and "Can You Keep a Secret?", as well as Marc Almond's "Bitter Sweet (The Big Beat Mix)", among others.

   Goldstein filmed a cameo for the movie "Iron Man 2" in June 2009, appearing as himself deejaying at the birthday party of Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.). Jon Favreau, the film's director, said that he was a fan of Goldstein; the cameo was supposed to be filmed in one day but the crew and Downey Jr. took a liking to Goldstein and his stay on set extended to approximately one week. He set up turntables and gave Favreau tips on how to DJ in between takes. Goldstein was involved with Activision's "DJ Hero" video game, contributing original mixes to and also appearing as a playable character. Goldstein and Barker performed at an Electronic Entertainment Expo event promoting the game in 2009.
