All layouts need "breathing space" however that top area is prime visual
real estate. I think adding a tag line to that area would benefit the
layout ( of all the pages, even if no banner is used ).
What do you think about having some promos/banners/etc that have very
strict visual style guidelines (eg must have a particular light-colored
background and a particular (let's say light grey) foreground in this
area? See the updated new-mock-2 (and squint and pretend the dj promo is
much much lighter :) ):

carefully designed to not stand out in comparison to the main banner.

I think the banner is too close to the title graphic, they compete
visually.
If the separation line between the top part of the page with the logo
and the banners could be a little stronger, that might help. I feel the
first mock up to be a stronger possibility.
+1 I agree.
I took the liberty of moving the headline above the title graphic to
demonstrate what adding _something_ to the blank area at the top could
do to balance the layout for mock up number one. I placed it on the
website of the company I work for -

Very nice, I like this! Much better balanced.
Apologies if my comments are out of line, or if I have violated some
rule established for the design of the web site.
+1 this is *great* feedback and I think you were able to verbalize what
was wrong with each mock really well. I was uncomfortable with each one
and not quite how to explain why; your explanations are great.
