It depends on what you spin also. Like with trance, there isn't much to do but mix intros and outros, but back in the day, me and my friends were all into techno, where the songs were so basic you would do a hell of a lot more. Plus today mixers and shit have effects built in. You used to have to create echos and flangers and shit like that with two records, and it was awesome cuz if you could do it, it was totally original. Better technology has made it easier to do. Not to mention better turntables. It was much harder to mix on the crappy shit that was out 10 years ago.

Andy Moor is a born musician, and as with any truly world class musician they can turn their hand to produce the epitome of amazing in any musical genre they so desire. From learning his first piano piece at the age of five to mastering six musical instruments by the age of eleven, to spinning his first record at the age of thirteen onto rocking the worlds leading festivals in front of tens of thousands of people by the age of twenty one.



Andy Moor is a future hero.

Tiesto is one of the biggest spinner in the world. playing in the OLIMPICS is an OUTSTANDING matter. Of course he is OUR HERO!



I'm not really sure if Tiesto can play any musical instrument.

an EXCELENT DJ must be a musician too. if not, how can they select a great records to play in every performance? how can they produce a great music that has high quality, art and amazing tune? Nice.

I belief, with the proof of his musical production and performance, I do think that Andy Moor is a future hero.

Not true, there's a lot more you can do with trance, you just have to be creative. It's no different than other genres. You can make mashups, you can loop parts like with CDJs and add things ontop of tracks. You can do breakdown mixes, harmonic mixes (which aren't that creative but do make things sound better when mixing melodies) and you can do some of the stuff Eddie Halliwell does, with a mixture of trance and techno.

You can also do more creative stuff as far as sequencing of the mix and building it up. You could use ambient or downtempo tracks in the beginning, building up to prog and then epic and it kind of flows into a journey, kind of like Tiesto's "ISOS 3" was. You could start off fast and gradually bring it down, or start somewhat fast, get slower, and then bring it back up.

That may not sound creative to some, but it does take creativity and imagination and the right set of tracks to make it sound good. I mean to me, sequencing of a mix can be just as creative as doing all fancy of tricks, which aren't a staple of trance mix (the fancy tricks) but sequencing of the mix can be. With Ableton live, making edits and not just mixing and out of intros and outros is becoming much more intuitive.

Yes, but I can do that by burning a certain sequence of tracks to a disc. Selecting tracks is not a skill.

you're dead wrong if these are the definitions you're working with:

from dictionary.com
1. the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well.
2. competent excellence in performance; expertness; dexterity.

Alright then, a DJing skill. Unless you want to count standing upright throughout the set as a "DJing skill" as well. After all, standing upright fits that definition.

track selection is the most important part of djing, and the are where most djs fail miserably.
in fact, if you want to compare a djskill to 'standing upright', beatmatching fits far better.
