Playing recorded music for dancing and parties rose with the mass marketing of home phonographs in the late 19th century, and Jimmy Savile is credited with hosting the first live DJ dance party in 1943 . Savile is also credited as the first to present music in continuous play by using multiple turntables . In 1947, the Whiskey A Go - Go opened in Paris as the first discoteque . In the 1960s, Rudy Bozak began making the first DJ mixers, mixing consoles specialized for DJing . </P> <P> In the 1960s, Jamaican sound system culture emerged, with Jamaican deejays such as King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry pioneering dub music in the late 1960s . They experimented with tape - based composition, emphasized repetitive rhythmic structures (often stripped of their harmonic elements), electronically manipulated spatiality, sonically manipulated pre-recorded musical materials from mass media, deejays toasted (boastful chanting) over pre-recorded music, and they remixed music . Jamaican deejays later had a significant impact on hip hop DJs in the 1970s . </P>
