Artists that adapt to the new changes brought by the music industry usually survive. Technology is amazingly changing in the music industry,thus artists have to adapt to those changes. Music tools that were used in the early 90s are no longer used these days. People won`t be interested in going to the clubs where the old devices for DJing are still used. People always want to be surprised with some deferent things,things that are not familiar to them. Last week Friday I was watching the new SABC 1 show which replaced Live, Live AMP. They were interviewing a DJ who goes by the name of Incredible (DJ Incredible),who brought a new djing device design on the show. When I was looking at that device I was like ``wow this is amazing''. He is no longer using the old deck that you used to mix with in 2008. This one is a touch screen,it looks like an ipad but it`s big and it`s been available for two years now.

This device consists of the following features:

  • A transparent screen which allows the audience to watch as you swipe,twist and tap to keep the beats bumping
  • Trobbing neon buttons
  • Sliders
  • knobs
This is a kind of device that needs more practice. I mean you can`t go to the night club to DJ with something you are not perfect in. This one is kind of complicated but it`s got the ability to make you a famous and a dope dj. Public Relations Practitioners for the music companies need to figure out,what technological changes have been brought in the music industry so that the producers and artists can adapt to those changes. Public Relations made me believe that organisations and people who adapt to the new changes usually survive and succeed.

    1. No one would be interested in your music club if you are still using the old equipment for DJ-ing,that`s why you have to change your equipment as the technology changes.

  6. For artist to adapt they need to do reguler research and see what is the latest equipment in stores rather than producing music only. That will keep them update about changes and new technology that might be economical.

  8. You are quite right, it is imperitive for artists to adapt in order to stay current and not fall behind. Adaptation also carries with it some strategical advantages that artists can not afford to down play.
