I agree with What Manny78 is saying.
DJ's who can mix well are a dime a dozen, but there are very few DJ's out there that have any idea about track selection and sequencing, as Manny said.
When i go out to a club or rave, i could really care less whether the DJ is a brilliant mixer or an ordinary mixer. I want to be taken on a journey and the only way to do that is through track selection and variety. A great mixer with poor track selection makes for a boring set.
The majority of punters who go clubbing or raving have very little idea or interest about the technical aspects of the craft, they are there to listen to a wicked set, primarily on the basis of the tracks played

HEX HECTOR!!
A very versatile DJ. He can remix the big names like Whitney, Deborah, Jennifer Lopez and he can also remix the not so mainstream such as Everything But The Girl. And when you hear him spim and plays everything, from House, Tribla, all the way to Garage.
His remixes are AMAZING!!!

I agree, I am much more into song selection than "mixing" talent when I go out.
I used to have this fight all the time with Junior lovers. They would say.."but oh, you should hear the way he mixes this over that and etcetc'
who cares when the songs he spins are so shitty!!! (my opinion)
I am very excited...here in NYC we will have the opportunity very soon to hear a techno master, Richie Hawtin, for a 10 hr set at a very small places for 3 bucks...

Amen. Me too I was under the impression that good Dj's were guys like Todd Terry, Tenaglia..... Till the day I went to the Playground (I think 2Thick used to work there). Todd Terry was supposed to spin that night. He didnt show up (little baby was upset cause they couldnt give him a first class ticket...). ANyway, they put another black dude for him (Eddy Jasmin), but didnt tell anyone (we knew that the day after). Guess what ? No one realized it wasnt actually Todd Terry. Also recently Sasha was spinning at the Sona. People preffered by far the local who spinned right before (Tiga). SOng selection is everything in the house scene.
Now if you wanna talk about jungle or hip-hop, thats different thing. I'm not into jungle but from what I've heard those beats are pretty hard to mix together.
As for hip-hop it's so differentttttttttt....... You will usually play a song for a minute or 2. That basically gives you 30 seconds to cue and put your song beat 2 beat or at least find the right spot. When you mix house stuff, people wont expect you to drop a song every 2 minutes. You may laugh at those guys by as far as technique goes, Jazzy Jeff and Cash Money the best I've ever heard.
