according to my buddy nickie black (guitarist in my band pmjq) who is a
manager at a restaurant the dmx service (digital music radio) has an a/j
channel. i've heard omar, k&d, umc's and all kinds of stuff there. it's good
in that people are hearing the music, but i still think a dj would be better.
as far as the co-opting element (the unspoken fear), look at hiphop. it's now
a ubiquitous genre, but there's still underground "real" stuff coming out.
it's just been acknowledged by the masses as being a valid thing (which helps
us more than we'd like to admit). i think a/j is moving in that direction.
