While I agree that it's a fraud of sorts. There is lots of work behind that pre-recorded collection.
He knows it'll work and so does those who hire him. Everyone wins, the audience will like it even if they pay way too much.
But then that's true for most of the other top DJs also, except you don't have to pay insanely much for those.
The hard part is becoming a celebrity DJ in the first place.
Taking someone elses work and remixing it seems to be giving the one doing the remixing way too much credit though...
