But also this works the other way round.
Not all (in fact I would say very few) DJ`s make good producers. But because they can play 2 records in time they assume they can make good music.
hhmm.....

1st. To suggest, say, someone as creative as a techno producer, does not have the ability to grasp the most basic of dj'ing skills, 'beat mixing', I think is silly.

2nd. Beyer, Clarke, Mills are super star DJ's because of their records, fact. If you wanna be up there with the greats you have to make records, this is epsecially true for the 'Techno schene', so it's no accident that they are offered DJ work, it's all part of the game plan....

3rd. Name me a BIG techno DJ that produces consistanly bad techno music?

As for Thomas Krome, he is a terrible DJ.
