I wouldn't call 'em Pop artists. Pop music is popular, as in mainstream, in my opinion. DJ's are still a niche group. They are popular in their crowd, but hardly mainstream.

I checked out the DJ Timbo track. It's alright, but it just doesn't really grab my attention. Nothing unique about it.

I have to agree, i think there is a big difference between pop music and a Dj's music. Pop music stands on its own but Dj's music is more for club and special social settings...

I dont necessarily call them pop artists...they are doing what djs are suppose to do which is to mix music whether it be pop songs or underground songs. DJs like DJ AM became are really popular but you cant label him as a pop artist for becoming famous.

The most interesting and innovative music for me these days is in the electronic genre - and yes, i think DJs are artists.
