Dont take any offence from this anyone, and i am NOT a DJ ok ! but what is so hard about mixing some records together ? after you have prefected the skills of beat matching etc... its just a matter of picking some records and mixing them together, maybe creating abit of a build up towards the end of the set, i cant see alot in it really.
The thing that does my head in is, famous DJ's get really hyped about etc.. saying "oh yea this DJ's really good etc..." but honestly anyone who can beat match could do the same job as any other DJ.
I do have respect for DJ's who are also producers, because this shows that person has skill, but someone who is just a DJ just doesnt cut it for me really!
Thats just my opinion, you'll probably all shout at me now :(
