Really? In my experience clubs hire DJs and radio stations are typically national and have the record labels pitching new content to them. I’m not sure either are interested in the “discovery” we’re talking about.

> clubs hire DJs

yes and DJs can be seen as discovery facilitators as per grandparent's comment, so it is fair to say that this is a viable business, which is based on content discovery - or maybe I misunderstood what you're saying?

> radio stations are typically national and have the record labels pitching new content to them

leaving aside the fact that you just described a very narrow subset of all commercial radios - how does this make radios not related to content discovery?
