As much as people hate to admit it, I think a lot of points in that article was spot-on.
Like the fact that learning turntablism iis much harder than learning how to mix.
DJ's always like to go on an on about how "proper" mixing and "proper track selection" are something that take years of work, but let's face it, it's no brain surgery. Not to mention "track selection" is totally subjective. Case in point, a large majority of the tracks/sets I've heard are underwhelming at best...Doesn't mean my opinion is the correct one.
Anyone can DJ. For some, it takes a few hours to learn, for some (who might have a higher learning curve), it could take years...But one thing is for sure, most people, can eventually learn to DJ.
Brain surgery on the other hand...I'm not in the field, but I can only assume it's not something anyone can do.
