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.
