It is obvious that DJ's, promoters, A&R, and varying other forms of talent scouting are, as a class, parasitic. They are, lamentably few exceptions, neither creative nor productive. They have, however, manipulated the creation and talent of others to provide themselves with reputations of arbiters of good taste. There is no reason whatsoever why they have any better judgement than anyone else. In most cases, they abuse this power in the knowledge that they, to the artist, are the decider of their talents and merit. It is this behaviour and attitude that will, in time, be the downfall of the music (and artistic) industry as an appreciation of true talent and expression.
