dj craze once mentioned that a big focus of his early djing was taking records that everyone knew and doing something different with them. imo thats a big part of what djing is about. granted the result is sometimes going to be messy (i know i've been there), but i think a really technical dj is a great thing. ofcourse song selection and other things are just as, if not more important, than being technical. but i think djing really becomes an art when the dj begins to alter (scratching, remixing, etc.) the records he/she plays live.
