It is kind of odd, but then again there have always been record companies that employ musicians/DJ's to produce that kind of stuff to sell it to clubs, advertising companies etc. Lou Reed himself started out getting paid to write disposable songs for cheap mass-market compilations on the Pickwick label. Apparently people like Jackson Browne and others all started out by going into these corporate places to write disposable songs in a few minutes for some money in exchange.
