If he was given a bunch of records right before the show and then had to mix them and add beats and take a song and turn it into a dance mix on the spot I would think that would take a huge amount of talent and would be putting on a show.

Again, I'm not bashing Tiesto I'm just using him as an example to try understand what DJs do.
Think of them as modern day composers. Learn about things like tension and release.
