I think there's 2 different kinds of "DJ's"... One is a Turntablist [scratching and scratch routines, beat juggling, etc.] and the other is a Selecter [mixing songs together very well, in key, and creating off the cuff mixes and mash ups]. I think the word "DJ" is thrown around TOO much today. I consider myself a selector, because I can't really scratch all that well. I still use turntables and what not. There's a million controllers now because actually buying DJ equipment is HELLA expensive. Just about everywhere I play already has equipment, so I think I'm lucky. I started on turntables and transitioned to CDJs. I've seen dozens of people who SUCK at DJing and it's a real shame. Not that DJing had a great name, but it sucks when someone brings up me being a DJ, when they know nothing about it, and just think I hit play and Dubstep happens lol. Comes with the territory though.
Thanks, EDM.
