The definition of "MC" can be easily confused with other things (e.g. "MC" can also mean "Master of Ceremonies"), so in the English language the term "MC" is used instead of "MC". The term "rapper" is more commonly used in English.

The DJ, who moved from behind the scenes to front of house in 1981, is responsible for selecting the right music to play for the guests, and there are many different types of DJs to suit different settings (such as radio studios or dance clubs) and audiences (such as jazz fans or hip-hop fans). A DJ's performance style and showmanship must reflect these needs. DJs at sharp dance parties, on the other hand, must present more playback techniques in their sets, such as remixing pop songs with electronic sounds, etc., in order to maintain the atmosphere of the venue.
