You got that right. I have been both a live DJ and radio broadcasting air personality for 30 years. They are very different environments. By the same token, radio stations that have transmitters, studios, computer playback software, record libraries, consultants and minimum-wage announcers don't make a great station. What you are saying is that music selection and presentation is an ART. Duh. Wish more people got that.

I think I've found your problem:

"night I went to hear a nine-piece funk/dub/hip-hop band"

'Nuff said.

I'm sorry, but this blog is ridiculous. A dj plays music. A "producer" makes music. Although sometimes people do both, you don't have to be a dj to be a producer, nor do you need to be a producer to be a dj. I can't believe you wasted my time with this blog. AND I've spent a couple of minutes writing this... So much wasted time.............
