Nonononono. DJs dont just match one track after another.
That is just the beginning to understand the concept we so often like
to call 'music'.

Do soccerplayers just shoot goals? Noo, they watch the play, adapt,
build new strategys and so on.
Does chefs just make food that tastes good? Nopes, they take great
care in laying up the food in an attractive way, making sure that
it is made to the needs of the customer and so on.

A DJ makes sure that the set flows, no matter how good your beatmatching
is you cant mix Terror, Gabber, Hardtrance and then slow progressive
house together, it just wont mix. You gotta have the layout, an ear
and eye for how to line up tracks and so important, you must use your
creative side. Just mixing tracks over each other isnt enough, you
gotta keep the flow and make the mixing "fun", interesting and challenging
for both you and the crowd.

so if i were to play at a club, will it matter if all the tracks i played were popular? and aslo is it neccessary to play the music u produced urself the whole time? or can u also play other people's tracks?

It doesn't matter at all if it's popular, if the songs don't match together and your set doesn't flow nice overall, you will still suck.

im not a dj but i heard that if u learn how to dj good technically, there is always the hardest part ahead. that is programming. u have to know how to set a mood thru ur mixing. its not just mixing 2 tracks together. in order to reach that high level u need to be creative. for example play 2 tracks at the same time, slap accapellas over breakdowns or on tunes currently playing. cutting in tunes and cutting them out. fuck it takes like fuckin 10 years to learn all trhat shit, just thinking about that
