There is and was an art form called turntablism. It's always been more common in hip hop than club and rave, though it showed up in all those places. You can search YouTube for examples of "scratch competitions" and that kind of thing.
There are also a good number of techno and hip hop DJS who take mixing with vinyl to amazing levels of agility.
That stuff's really hard, and those folks actually became "virtuosos" on turntables.
Just hitting beat match on an mp3 player or a dual CD deck... not so much. About the only thing you can call those is showmen and great self promoters.
