Beválasztás

Beválasztás refers to a process in audio engineering and DJ culture, where a DJ rotates records or CDs from a collection to create a continuous flow of music without gaps. This technique involves cueing up the next track while the current one is still playing, allowing the music to transition smoothly without a noticeable pause.

The beválasztás technique was popularized in the 1970s and 1980s by disco and club DJs, who used it to maintain the momentum and energy of their sets. The process required a great deal of skill and practice, as the DJ had to carefully control the timing and pacing of the transitions.

Beválasztás also involved a specific type of appreciation for music, where the DJ and audience understood the importance of the DJ's selection and arrangement of tracks. This technique allowed the DJ to showcase their knowledge of music and their ability to read the crowd's mood and energy.

Today, beválasztás is less commonly used due to the widespread adoption of digital DJing software and controllers, which allow for seamless transitions and control over the music. However, the technique remains a part of the history and culture of DJing and club music.
