Chapter 544 He Jin is the father of electronic music (3.8k)

Not to mention, singing "Chinese" in a foreign country with a huge audience is such a great feeling.

Especially seeing the foreigners showing interest in the song and listening attentively, He Jin felt even happier.

Sometimes, when what you do starts to form a cultural output.

Especially when foreigners begin to understand the profound Chinese culture and Chinese language because of you.

That feeling of pride is incomparable to any award.

When He Jin sang "Chinese" and shook hands with people in front of the stage, he heard a white man asking the Chinese next to him.

"Hey brother! I didn't catch the name of this song just now. Can you tell me again?"

""Chinese" means Chinese."

The Chinese who was asked by him said proudly.

You can see a human being transform into a werewolf in "Werewolf", and just before he finally becomes a werewolf, you will suddenly see a glimpse of the human form, and then it disappears... This is what human voices and vinyl

That unstable mix.

Everyone knows what this title represents.

In the next few days, He Jin began to promote in major prosperous cities in the United States, appearing on radio stations and television.

This made the reporters present immediately go crazy.

Regarding the song "Titanium", after listening to it, I only had one thought, that is, Boyz II Men are completely clowns.

In addition, it is said that some of the people who are not determined will become more determined to quit drugs after hearing this song.

It is different from Boyz II Men, who are jumping up and down in major media to promote He Jin’s music as garbage and sissy.

"Rockit" was inspired by hip-hop and assembled a variety of styles as a last-ditch effort to save the jazz musician's declining career.

We both agree very much with each other's music theory.

The electronic dance music he released in South Korea was widely used by these DJs.

He Jin rarely denounces Boyz II Men in public, which gives us the illusion that He Jin is a soft persimmon.

Because, He Jin's music really inspired me a lot, and he can be called a pioneer on the road of music.

Some of them went straight to He Jin and wanted to ask him personally about his virtue and ability.

Until 1981 comes.

Kodewo once said this about DJing.

Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn from the experimental band Material helped produce and compose the song, which features a drum machine, synthesizers and, for the first time, a DJ solo

.

It would be almost a century before it was put into practice by a teenage DJ from the Bronx named Theodore Livingston.

…

Of course, there are thousands of people with different faces.

He Jin was deeply touched when he learned that a foreigner had the idea of ​​learning Chinese because of the song he sang.

Others ran directly to the video store and started looking for records. They searched for all the records that He Jin could find in the United States. If they couldn't find them, they might have to be shipped from Asia.

Just one lyric distinguishes him from Boyz II Men.

Their interest in Michael Jackson has now been greatly reduced because of what he said, and has completely shifted to He Jin.

In February 1984, at the 26th Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles, with the live performance of "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock, DJing spread like a virus.

opened.

The father of electronic music?

From now on, his English album will no longer be mainly about making money, he will promote Chinese culture.

As a byproduct of the movement of a stylus over the grooves of a record, DJing has been around since the invention of the phonograph.

But from this song, we can see that our previous ideas were wrong.

Michael Jackson's remarks shocked reporters.

Three pairs of disembodied legs danced above him.

When he came to the word "evaluation", he stopped talking.

Evaluation aspects.

I think no one has more say than me on this point, because only by working together and talking together can we truly understand his philosophy.

From then on, DJ music began to gradually penetrate into many corners of the music world and became an integral part of mainstream music, that is, pop music.

Legend has it that at some point in 1975, Theodore overheard the scratching sound coming from his own equipment when his mother asked him to turn off the music.

The itch began in the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop, and it confounded some and inspired others.

Naturally, some people will take notice and associate this song with Boyz II Men.

On the Grammys stage, D.S.T. played the DJ while Hancock played clavitar.

It changed the constitution of hip-hop and reminded everyone that DJs are the first artists of this music.

And his song "Titanium" truly tells us that this is the kind of person he is.

Some people may think that I am exaggerating, and that I say this because I am friends with He Jin.

Since then, DJing has officially begun to appear on the world music stage. However, this kind of music is too niche and can only become a kind of underground music.

Soon, at a local club, this element was displayed to the public for the first time.

"OMG, the melody of this song is so beautiful, and the Chinese language is so charming. I must learn Chinese..."

This is a completely new texture effect.”——Kodwo Eshun.

Now, a Chinese man is quietly called the father of electronic music by underground DJs.

"Scratching is more like a transformation sequence, more like an audio version of The Thing or American Werewolf.

When the turntable was not yet considered a musical instrument, it began to be gradually regarded as part of the band by some bands.

No one expected that He Jin's counterattack would come so quickly. As He Jin himself said, although singers make their living with their mouths, they are not pretentious.

I respect him very much. If, I mean if, if he had debuted a few years before me, then I think he would have been my inspiration in music.

Even the New York Drug Rehabilitation Center in the United States took the initiative to contact He Jin on the 13th. They wanted He Jin's song to be used as a promotional song for drug detoxification.

How to evaluate He Jin’s music.

But it’s not true. Even if I wasn’t his friend or we didn’t know each other, I would still say this.

Even though he is Chinese, with music from five different countries, I believe that in the future, He Jin will definitely become a godfather-like figure in the American music industry.

Although we have different skins, different races, and different national borders, we feel like old friends at first sight because of music.

Just like what he wrote in the lyrics, "I roar loudly, and I am not disturbed at all.".

Facing reporters, Michael Jackson fell into memories and slowly told the story between him and He Jin.

After some practice, Theodore named this action of moving the record back and forth with his hands "Djinging."

This vision of the future is reflected in the eyes of millions of children who are staring at the TV and listening to the sound of DJs.

And why Jin can be called the father of electronic music by these DJs, also commonly known as DJs, is simply appalling.

Some people also went to major nightclubs, where they could find DJ musicians working in nightclubs, and they could get their opinions on He Jin.

Even in the United States, electronic musical instruments have gradually begun to become important creative instruments for some singers.

Maybe, maybe those of us who love to go to nightclubs have heard the DJ playing He Jin's songs on the stage, but you don't know."

Some people think that this song is a song to encourage drug addicts to strengthen their faith.

Except that some music magazines spoke highly of He Jin's "Titanium".

This makes Boyz II Men look ridiculous..."

When Michael Jackson was interviewed by the media, it was the first time he responded to the conflict between He Jin and Boyz II Men, and he spoke highly of the song and He Jin himself.

At this moment, he made a decision in his mind.

Speaking of DJs, some people may not know that when our mainstream musicians did not recognize He Jin, in the American underground music industry, especially the newly emerging DJ music industry, He Jin was already known as the father of electronic music.

If anyone listens carefully to He Jin's works, including all his Chinese works, you will find out how amazing his musical talent is and what role he has played in promoting the music scene.

According to them, this song has a great impact on those who are recovering from drug addiction. After hearing this song, many recovering drug addicts said that the song was written about them.

In the evaluations of major music magazines and music critics, this song is hailed as the most positive song of the year.

Not only is He Jin not a soft persimmon, on the contrary, he is very hard, so hard that no one can refute him.

Grandmixer D.ST., a DJ from the Bronx, was responsible for the solo performance.

In the past few days, various reviews and sales data about the song "Titanium" have begun to be released.

The New York Times wrote:

"He Jin is obviously a person who can't tolerate evil in his eyes. His grievances with Boyz II Men are well known to everyone, but this news has gradually become a thing of the past.

In short, after Michael Jackson was called the father of electronic music by underground musicians, the entire American press went completely crazy.

In his book "Groove Music", Mark Katz identifies the song "Rockit" as "the song that made DJing heard in the world."

After a pause of more than ten seconds, he said:

"His talent is unparalleled, as endless as the Great Wall of China.

Electronic musical instruments, yes, He Jin told me, these are called electronic musical instruments, and they are the kind of equipment used by DJs that have emerged in nightclubs in the past two years.

We even co-wrote a song "Earth Song" because of our sympathy for each other.

According to what they said, they were just like the people in the lyrics, invincible.

And how do I evaluate..."

Therefore, after the interview ended, many reporters began to run in their own directions according to their own ideas.

Let’s not talk about other works, let’s just talk about this song “Titanium”. Didn’t anyone publish it? The style and melody of this song and the instruments used in this song are something we have never seen before.

Although electronic music is a niche music, it has already become widely popular in major nightclubs in the United States.

No matter how sharp-tongued you are, I just pretend you don't exist.

He wants more foreigners to understand Chinese culture and guide them to become interested in Chinese culture.

The song and its stage performance inspired an entire generation to buy a turntable, retreat to their bedrooms, and start making all that noise.

And I think that in the future, many young singers will be influenced by He Jin.

This voice is nothing new. It wants to be found, and Theodore hears it.

Singer Grandmaster Flash records the first ever DJ track "The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel".

"Adventure..." is a seven-minute song that includes basic level slicing and sequencing.

After the interview, many reporters did not continue to question Michael Jackson.

And every time he promotes and sings songs, he will sing Chinese songs as much as possible after singing English songs, in order to export China to the United States.

"He Jin and I met in the autumn of 1993 at my concert.

If He Jin is really that capable, then he may open a new era and lead a new type of music.

This kind of person is too rare in the United States.

If this is the case, then maybe He Jin will become the idol of young singers and the inspiration of young singers in the future, as Michael Jackson said.
