Indeed it is!
Id put beatmatching in the centre and leave scratching out to the side.
Every single DJ will benefit greatly from learning beatmatching, whereas scratching is a very specific skill for a very specific style.
Beatmatching teaches timing, and timing is the most fundamental part of music.
I need to add one also... "hand gestures"
There is no way you can be taken seriously without your hand gesture game being on point...
Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
damn i guess since i havent scratched for 24 years, im not a dj!
I disagree. THE most important part of a DJ's job, is not how well they can mix, beatmatch, or ability to scratch, it's not if they play from a Pioneer/Technics/American Audio/Gemini setup.
Selection.
If you can scratch brilliantly, beatmatch flawlessly it won't matter a stuff if your selection is wrong.
Beatmatch, scratching and all the other attributes are all an added bonus to a good selection.
Run a bad selection for your audience, and it won't matter how technically good you are, your floor will die, and your set with it.
The DJ's job is to entertain. Play recorded music, that is essentially the backbone...

While I also think that selection is by far the most important skill a DJ has to possess, there is a case to be made for the importance of beatmatching. If you play vinyl your sets are bound to be more dynamic (and thus, less boring) than if you play digital because no matter how good you are and how tight you can mix, not every transition is gonna be tight - and that's a good thing.
That's not to say you always have to beatmatch (or beatmatch at all) - it's certainly possible to play a killerset without any proper mixing whatsoever. But I'd say people who play those kinds of sets do usually know how to beatmatch properly. And sure it's possible to learn the important stuff while playing with sync (I actually did - but I still think my DJing improved greatly when I finally learned how to beatmatch vinyl, which took me years to get just because I get frustrated easily by stuff I have to practice a lot)
