I know what disc jockeys do and I know what turntablists do and to me, while some aspects overlap - they are two entirely different skill sets -- yet both are categorized as DJs.
I certainly cannot do what a lot of you guys on here can do and guys like Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, the Beat Junkies, etc., etc. - but can those guys beatmatch and blend two songs seamlessly for a minute? Can they read the crowd and fill the dance floor? Perhaps - but that's not what they're famous for.
Did a quick site search and found a similar topic from KayPlaya distinguishing DJs and producers and EDM "DJs":

...but not exactly
What say you?
