Unfortuntely not !
Especially not from the older dj's !
(Pete Tong, Jeff Mills etc are legendary for awful mixing !)

they should be able to mix perfectly every time, as beckham, zidane etc should be able to pass perfectly every time

that would be such an impossible expectation 2 put on ANY DJ "every single time" he (or she) played out....
i dunno i expect the DJ (regardless of what they are getting paid) 2b putting in 110% (all the time) but no one can be "technically flawless" EVERY single time they play....
some get very close but no way "all the time"....
they are human & they make mistakes....
it's the way of the world....

Agree on all points.
I have had this arguement before - u cant expect everyone to be flawless all the time but you would expect a 'big name' DJ to at least be able to mix.
And remember - if you dont DJ chances are unless the DJ got it REALLY wrong you wont notice something that to them is a mistake.

Agreed, I know a lot of dj's who'll finish a set and say it was "scrappy" but on the dancefloor it sounded perfect. You can get away with a lot more live.
Sometimes it's like any other job, you can have a bad night where things don't quite go too well.

Yes people spend quite alot of time doing tracklistings ect.
I think its nice to hear sum1 mix without the use of tools if they have to use tools god help them if they mix live in a club .

Ive been mixing just under a year now and will be playin out for my debut very soon.
Even somedays in practise ive got it all locked down then other days i'll sound like a punch up in a restaurant kitchen. 
Takes a while to get real good but i've had mates cringe saying they cocked up and I never heard a bliff blaffed beat all night?
Tune selection most important IMO
