Guys:
There is no spamming conspiracy going on. None of the proposed reasons are likely to be why you received the mailing.
Business lead lists are easily available from places like: http://www.infousa.com. You can purchase mailing lists for any SIC category you like including "DJs". I'm not saying that your name wasn't sold/shared through a third party, but it is less likely.
PS: Assertion number 2 and 3 from Proformance are just not likely. I advertise on half a dozen DJ websites and they don't just hand out their email/mailing lists. As far as magazines giving out their list of subscribers...uh, no. DJ Times / Mobile Beat keep that information pretty close to the vest. I'm also an advertiser in those magazines and I can tell you, they would never just hand that information out and likely wouldn't sell it.
The DJ Expo mailing list is freely available in the show magazine.
