it's easy to make noise with turntables and a fader but doing anything interesting is a very technical matter. it requires alot of practice and patience---on those grounds alone, there's nothing to the distinction between what they do and what "real musicians" do. i'm surprised people still try to make the separation. and this is to say nothing of the listening/ear training that's required, and the approaches to composition that folk have developed. collage is composition.
btw i've played piano in various formats for a very long time.
just wanted to defuse a potential counter.
