I agree with the voices that are saying being a DJ takes more than just playing the right records. I'm a DJ [in the traditional sense] at my school's radio station and sometimes I play IDM tracks and its alright -- but there are two other DJ's [in the more techno sense] at the station (BMG and Bubblicious) who really can make the musical fabric, the auditory trip everyone's talking about. We are worlds apart even when they're playing the same Goldie or System 7 track as I might play. It really IS an artform and they prove it to me every time I listen to their shows... Brian
