    Yup. I have to agree. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would more
    gladly pay £10 to listen to a guy with great taste in music and who knows
    how every track has to be played (and little turntable skills) than to watch
    some guy with fucked up skills and original style but boring as a brick
    wall.

    11. Just because you can load play samples on a sampler doesn't make you a
    musician; Just because you can play records on a turntable doesn't make you
    a DJ.

    I haven't written in a while but this is eating me. So often I hear all
    this total elitist crap about DJing. DJing is one thing, entertainment. If
    you can entertain an audience by playing recorded music, regardless of the
    type of music it is, you are a DJ. Trained ears like the ones on this list
    will understand a DJ who has technically skilled and another who just has
    great taste in music and wants to share their musical journey.

    There have been many a DJ whose only skill has been that they have turned me
    on to something new.
