As well as what tu_face says (all of which is very true)

I think a good DJ should also be a good producer of his/her own music and be able to use his/hers own productions along with other artists productions in his/hers sets. DJ'ing for me should be about being individual with music as well as being able to DJ for DJ's sake.

Sounds a bit life of brian, maybe I should change my nick to Loretta...

i dont think production has anything to do with whether or not you are a good dj.

unfortunatly a lot of people seem to bundle the two together because of people like armin, who only really started djing to promote his own productions and others from his label. i agree that yes, if you produce as well then it adds something to your arsenal, but i certainly wouldn't regard anyone as a better or worse dj because they do or dont produce

you need to be in it for the sake of djing, you need to have only 1 motive when going behind the decks, and that is to make people go barmy. nobody will really care if its your tune or not at 6am
