A while ago, I posted a story about how anyone can be a DJ. The article argued that there’s little, if any, skill involved. So, with the right equipment and access to music, even someone with a tin ear can make a living doing it. In fact, more recently DJ Anton Stephan was accused of doing just that.

Well, as an antidote to all that talk, comes a new documentary about DJ Steve Lawlor. In The Art of the DJ, Lawlor’s life and rise to the top is examined, and we learn exactly what it takes to spin gold.
