RE: who is the greatest DJ in da world?
Dj Swamp, Radar, and others that have begun using samplers loaded with a loop they fashioned, and adding on to it by layering new samples over the intial loop are making their own composition, not Sasha and Digweed. Not I for that matter, and I started off as a Djay first and migrated towards the production end of things.
Spinning a good set says something for your ability to count, select records, and get a vibe off the crowd...and it certainly is an excellent way to expose people to new tracks...but that's where it ends really. Like Ape said, and Influx reiterated, it's just f'n stupid that people aren't clued in enough to realize the difference between someone playing records, and someone banging away on some gear crafting sound before your eyes. I think I'm lucky enough to be able to surround myself with friends that are in the "know" as opposed to the kids that saw a report on 48hrs about the "scene" and decided that it was cool.
