Utter tripe
She was miming, evident by the fact mixes start coming in before she even touches anything, pretends to do a backspin when it's actually part of the track she's playing, someone has to remind her there is a play button on CDJ2000s, laptop DJs to inspire the kids of today, getting paid massive wages out of our licence fee to not even have the balls to play live.. Yeh, well done, BBC. #Awful

Given that this was on C4, what has the BBC got to do with it?

Hey hey, let's not let FACTS get in the way of a good old fashioned points-of-view "oh why oh why" rant.
Has the Daily Mail taught us nothing?
[edit] using hashtags not on twitter makes me sad.

Facts?
That's just the kind of thing I'd expect from the liberal elite.

The BBC employ and promote her, wasting my hard earned on her wages,
and are the reason she is "famous" and on here.
Sorry, was that not #obvious?

But even if we allow that she was miming here -
and I have no idea one way or the other on that - it tells us nothing at all about what she does in any other context. It's hardly as if BBC jobs are handed out on spec - and so it's reasonable to believe that she does do something.
As for your hard-earned cash - let's break it down a bit.
It's a bit hard to find any record of her salary; but based on the figures I've found for other presenters after a bit of googling, it's probably in the region of £100k. But - to give you as much room as possible - let's double that to be on the safe side.
The BBC's income from licence fees is £3.6bn. This means that her salary represents a massive 1/200th of a percent of that income - or, to put it another way, one twenty-thousandth.
The TV licence currently costs £145.50. So your contribution to her pay comes in at £145.50/20000. Which is less than three-quarters of a penny per year.
So if you're worried about your money being wasted, you could at least console yourself with the thought that - at worst - this terrible drain on your resources comes in at the sort of money that you could have earned while doing your job instead of reading this post to begin with.

Actually...
Assuming that you're an adult earning the minimum wage, you're on £6.08/hour - which is as much as to say that it takes you (0.0075/6.08)x3600 seconds - so 4.44 seconds - to earn three-quarters of a penny. It takes less time if you're on more than the NMW.
I reckon it takes about 20 seconds to read that post - which means that you'd've been able to earn three quarters of a penny about 4 times. If anyone should be concerned about a waste of earnings, it's your employer.

Phew!
My school arithmetic days passed a loooooooooooooooong time ago; I was worried that I'd made some silly error in the calculation.

I'm not sure she was miming actually...
...there's a moment at around 30:40 where she realises rip groove is too low and wangs the gain up (you only catch video of her actually finishing the adjustment but you can clearly hear it). That would be a funny thing to put in a pre-recorded set.
