See, I differentiate between yer turntablists and your club DJs. You do get people like DJ Hype that do loads of scratching, but DJing in a club is very different to being a 'musical' DJ. DJing in a club is about mixing tunes, working a crowd and properly delivering your own personality/ taste at the same time. If Weatherall, Avery or Smagghe is playing, you just know it's them, nobody else sounds like them.
I've seen plenty of shit DJs who might be flawless at mixing but can't hold the attention of a dancefloor and play utterly predictable tunes. That really fucks me off, if I wanted to hear stuff that I knew played in a familiar order I'd stay at home and do it myself.

Well done mate, technically perfect but complete shit I've no interest in hearing.

Or cunts like Judge Jules who waste their technical skills on mixing fucking cheesy pop records. Se'sly, that boy could mix superbly but played absolute shit.
Waste of talent, right there.

But seeing as how DJs don't actually get on the mic I don't give a shit.

Randall used to clang all the time but his selection was great so it was allowed. Well that and everyone had taken too many chinswingers to notice.
