I dont actually, I much rather see a live electronic act than someone selecting tracks for me. But as a musician I can care less about the technique in DJing (unless is turntablism) it all comes down to if I like the tracks being played or not.
You can be the best Dj on this planet but if you play crap I'm going to leave, or the opposite you can be learning how to mix, but if your track selection is good, I will stick around and enjoy another cold new castle ;)

he looks like a used car salesman from North Jersey. Maybe the song "I'm drunk and I'm high" is actually playing in his head.
Here's my attempt at djing

saw peter hook dj once, it did indeed look like he was just twiddling, kept looking at the crowd and amping people up rather than concentrating on mixing

I showed this to my lady, (she's is a total clubber likesey) and she was absolutely shocked he he, she said the same as me you should feel like the person is actually part of the show, she also pointed out that his fingers aren't even moving half the time. What a bozo.

It's no fucken wonder that this happens with the sort of fame that SuperStarDJs have, it is totally fucken ridiculous the magnitude of hero worship that gets handed out to some of these cats.
Back in the day, I used to play records for people at parties - when people used to say "oooh, you're a DJ?!?!?!" as if it was something special..... I'd always reply:
"All I do is play records that somebody much more talented than me recorded" and that is pretty much all there is to it.I don't understand the outrage here, the music is pish anyway but the fact is that these "DJs" are hyped to fuck.

Is it me or is Hookie starting to look like Alan Rickman these days! Can't say I've got a problem with the fake Djing, I wish more so called celebrity Dj's would have used tapes, I had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing Boy George take to the decks once, apart from the music being sh*te his mixing was so bad, it was embarrassing!
The real embarrassment is why does he adopt the Ian Curtis lost in music style dance moves, he looks like he is getting a shock off the equipment!!!

I don't think thats fair MX, some DJ's are incredibly talented and can work beats together like you couldn't imagine and can grab an adience by the balls and bring them to heaven and back by juggling tunes and beats they have created, it's a very difficult thing to do in my opinion. Musicians get worshipped all the time.

End of the day, like I've said on here before, people make music but it's DJs who get it out to people – imagine if there was only live shows and no DJs....there'd be much less music around (and fuck all to do for half the population).
As for DJ talent, the whole 'how well can you mix' argument is only a quarter of the battle. How many guitarists have you seen play that are technically excellent but play such loony stuff you'd never be into it? All about finding the right tunes and playing them well. DJing is fucking good fun!

I disagree with the previous statement.
May I correct it?
You say: " people make music but it's DJs who get it out to people"
I say: "Musicians make music, Djs get a name for themselves playing their tracks, without musicians the Dj does not exist."We don't need a dj to hear music, the dj is like the middle man, which is the same spot that a friend, a relative, or any stranger on the street that has recommended me to check out a band has.
Yes there is talent, and there is lack of it going around, but like I said again, I will stick around and listen ONLY if the DJ plays the music I like to hear. Wouldn't you?

bollocks meekio
DJ's mix tunes add tunes on top take inspiration from music they have heard and create a completely different tune from that they also create their own beats and synth loops and weird sound effects to splash all over they tracks they are mixing with, a DJ does not just change records a DJ fuses different tunes and creates tunes in order for his or her fusion to work.
When designing a logo and 'tweeking' an existing font to the way you want it to be any different?...
Oh and by the way meekio things have moved on significantly since baleros roller disco mate.

Apparently Tommy Lee likes a bit of the old Dj fakery too, I wonder if he and Hooky share an agent!...
