Cut-Up/Dj

Cut-up/DJ is a style of music production that involves taking existing music, samples, or spoken word recordings and manipulating them to create something new. The style has its roots in the practice of cut-up writing, which was popularized by William S. Burroughs in the 1950s. The technique was then adapted to music by hip-hop DJs and producers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, who used the technique to create innovative and novel sounds. Since then, the style has been embraced by many different genres, from hip-hop and EDM to jazz, funk, and even classical music.
