Let's be clear. DJing is a craft, not an art. playing tracks in a particular order, which is essentially what most DJs do, can have a powerful immediate effect, but it is not on the same level as someone like Charlie Parker, Bach, Django Reinhardt, or many other great musicians.
Anything that involves mixing shit together makes a DJ a Producer.
When is the last time you were at XS, Surrender, or a venue where the DJs on the list actually perform?
What clubs do you actually party at?
The list of DJs doesn't include the guy with a macbook pro who plays at some no-name bar in flyover state.
Go to XS. Take an e tab. Then come back to "be clear" about whether DJ'ing is simply guys putting the Notorious BIG and Tupac on autoplay.
Ok- I was talking more about guys who are putting most of the show on autopilot, or are just picking out a playlist of tunes and making sure the transitions are smooth. In those cases, I'd give almost all the credit to the artists in the tracks for the whatever experience is had.
