1) Those who just plain mix other people's songs.
I don't know what they call this type of DJ but they are ppl that called themself DJ by remixing other ppl's song. this takes up some skills as they need to beat match the song tempo and the key ...2) Those more technical ones who scratch .
these DJs are usually known also as turntablist ... and the scene they are in are turntablism which usually involve turntables or CDJ with vinyl control. Most of these type of DJs are for shows only .. they are not suitable for clubs .. unless they are mixing songs which has some scratching / beat juggling in their set. They can't scratch for like 4 hours set ...3) Or those very good ones who actually make their own music..
those who makes their own beat and music are usually producer instead of DJ Are there actually like comparison among DJs themselves? Like, are there any politics that go like the more technical DJs dissing the other DJs who only do mixing on other people's songs at clubs?
in malaysia , there is alot of politics ...it's also alot to do with who you know and what you are in the DJ scene .. but then again , skills must be part of it ...
for the turntablist ... dissing another DJ using those records is part of show ....Or are those DJs who only do mixing other people's songs considered
inferior to those more technical DJs ? Cause I heard some people say that those who mix other's songs are not considered DJs .. They are only mixers? Something like that..
those who remix other people song are basically .. pretty simple ... all they need to do is take two songs with the same beat/tempo/pitch and put it together .. and everything will run smootly ..... but of course .. there will be good remix and bad ...
