    not entirely true:

    a DJ with no technical skills but with good track selection can still make a
    party rock, while a dj with great technical skills (ie beatmixing, EQ;ing,
    etc.) but a bad trackselection can really freez the floor..... look for an
    example at the producers turning DJ to promote their stuff...
