Thinking of technical issues, I have gotten the idea that beatjugging
must be the hardest, yes, no ? |

| not only the technical skills of a dj are important.. the most important is how you build up your set.. good music choice.. not playing 2 loud.. clean records :D .. |

Yes but I was thinking about technical issues like mixing, scratching,
remixing live and so on. |

| well if your talking about pure technical skill, then i'd say beat juggling is the hardest |

If this is true, then i shall agree. I also agree to teknasia's post here:

Being a dj isn't just a bunch of transitions during a night. It needs some talent and of course, the crowd pleasure. If the crowd is pleased with the music you spin, then go on. A DJ has to "modify" his set according to the crowd needs :D (I mean the local neighbourhood DJ, and not pvd or tiesto ;) those are professionals of the music they play and their crowd knows what to expect when seeing them performing live!) |

Beat Juggling is not beatmatching/beatmixing at all. It's like scratching... Djing skill tricks that are usually heard only in dj battles like DMC. Beat Juggling is where you have 2 records and you create a new beat by going back and forth from each deck at a fast speed. |

| beat juggling is pretty tough, but advanced scrathing is imo rather harder as beatjuggling is mostly 1 handed fader work, whereas good scratching can use both hands, 1 on the vinyl, 1 on a fader/eq. give eddie haliwell sets a listen :) |

| Turntablist skills... so many people can mix like our idolized dj's, but not as many can cut and scratch as well as the best turntablists. |
