Carry equipment of DJ, say, having godlike status (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

totemic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dj say having godlike status' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'carry equipment' is the wordplay.
'carry' becomes 'tote' (toting is a kind of carrying).
'equipment' becomes 'mic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tote'+'mic'='TOTEMIC'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for totemic that I've seen before include "Like something significant" , "Emblematic, symbolic" , "worthy of respect" , "Having significance as an emblem" , "worship?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
