Record players to ease sound by the start of June in times of revolutions (7)

I believe the answer is:

deejays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'record players' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ease sound by the start of june in times of revolutions' is the wordplay.
'ease sound' becomes 'ee' (sounds like the plural of 'e').
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'the start of' says to take the initial letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'times of revolutions' becomes 'days' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'june' is 'j'.
'ee'+'j'='eej'
'eej' going within 'days' is 'DEEJAYS'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deejays that I've seen before include "Colloquial disk jockeys" , "Players of records" .)
