or do they just play music?
i actually feel that a dj is not really a musician. a dj is someone who promotes other peoples music to spread it out to the world. turntablism is different to me though because you are creating your own sounds but a dj who simply mixes 2 tracks together is not a musician to me. |

| A DJ plays music. A musician is basically defined as one who plays or composes music. |

no not really....
anyway, for me, i feel that there are 2 different musicians, the artist, and the composer, I feel the DJ is the artist. |

fine, I'm not really all that hungup on the term musician anyways. So someone like John Digweed isn't a musician, but some 8 year old playing the flute is? Whatever.
another snag you run into with this thread is that most dj's at some point or another dab in producing/ making the tracks themselves. |

| a dj is just a disc jockey, they play the music. what a person actually does behind the tables is what defines them as an artist. |
