I think there's some confusion about the distinction
between a "turntablist" (like Jazzy Jeff or Marclay)
and a "DJ".

A DJ does Weddings and such, whereas a turntablist
actually adds some net value to the records he 'cuts'
- like a recombinant gene sequencer.

Just thought I might add some clarity to this debate.
You may or may not agree.
