I don't know - I find it useful to know what labels a person's associated with.
At least having that information might give you some idea of
what sort of music they're about. This might be more true for live PAs than for
DJs, though.

I do agree about this - I'd *love* to hear Theo Parrish play a set where he
plays some of his weirder material. That's primarily where my
interest in him lies - in those weird, messed-up sides he comes out with
("Dance of the Drunken Drums", etc), and not as much his DJing
(though that's top-notch as well, of course).
