To be more clear, it just doesn't seem to figure into DJ culture the idea of perhaps sitting down as a team with the promoter and working out how best to deliver an event, playing a few tracks and floating ideas.

Maybe the pros do it, I don't know, but I get the feeling that getting DJs from different genres to cooperate on getting an event good rather than individual glory would be like herding cats.

(I'm probably being a cynical bastard though, there must be pros who are just that, professional, and do this sort of thing...)
