Being a DJ is a different skill to being a musician. I don't think there's any argument that there is however skill involved. But whether that can really be put on the same level as a musician that has trained for years to produce original music is a whole different argument .
Staying true to this thread and using an example that actually proves the point that it doesn't take a lot of talent to get people to dance as a DJ ,have a look at this YouTube clip and then tell me how long you think this person actually took to throw the stuff together.
Also she gets regular bookings and probably earns more through her "musical skill " than most of us .

I have to agree to disagree as most DJs/producers are musicians also,....you need a musicians talent background to create music period in any form,..even more so for today's rhythms, beats,house,trance,hiphop music etc,..it's a new day out here in musicland embrace the future technology it's NOT going away for example KORG KAOSS in the Pa4x just added, there will be much more just wait and see,. Instead integrate it with whatever music style you desire and make your music even better then before,. Some people want to just sit and stay in the "OLD" home organ mode with a closed mind, personally for me I look ahead and absorb and work with what ever is coming along new down the pike,......it's an exciting time for musicians in all aspects.
