> DJs are given 15 minutes

Lol, at 15 minutes, i'm like halfway into my second song, lol.

I used to rage at the pointlessness of 1 hour sets, I wouldn't even bother with a gig that advertised 15 minute slots.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this conversation is a musical journey. That is a talent in itself. A surprisingly difficult on in fact - which even many top DJs don't do well. But it's a very different style of DJing to the stuff DMC turntablists would be adept at.

It's two different worlds - like comparing progressive rock to punk and saying "they're both guitar music"
