Its not about being original or derivitive, its weather you like the music or not, who cares about any of the other stuff that "music experts" go on about, i was going to raves in convoys of cars using CBs for directions back in the late 80's and early 90's and still club now, me and the missus were at Brixton Academy for Faithless's last live gig on friday, it was AWSOME and i dont care if they are original, artistic, painted blue or will go down in history as arteests.

Never really got "trance". That bloke in the video supposed to be good at it though from what I hear.
Orbital, however, are another matter entirely. Top stuff.Comment

Have you ever pushed so many drugs into your face that you keep trying to hug strangers and insist on standing in the same place for 5 hours waving your hands around?Originally posted by jmc View Post

When I was a DJ, I made money playing other peoples records too, it's what DJs do. The difference is, I was getting £15 a night; at his peak, Carl Cox was reputed to be on over £30k per night (a percentage of the door); Tiesto probably wouldn't bother getting out of bed for as litle as that.Originally posted by Apache View Post
You're right though, Andy, it must be nice to be as good as he is.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment

When you were a DJ, people had to give coins to the monkey in the fez...Originally posted by Albannach View Post
Carl Cox was £1k per hour in about 1997. It was ridiculous then, but people will pay so much to see someone putting records on that they're worth it. I've never really understood why
Along with the rest of them, Tiesto probably makes the majority of his money from his production work and running record labels. I presume the record he's playing there whilst handing out Harry Belafonte 78s is probably one that he wrote.Comment

Top DJ's dont just do one club a night either, they'll do the rounds and maybe squeeze in three for an hour or two long set on Friday and Saturday nights, when you think a decent sized dance club can take 100 grand in tickets sales in a night, you can see theres money in it, some of the big warehouse parties back in the 90's were pulling in a quarter mill in entrance fees for a single party. :S
I have a couple of friends who went through the London DJ school, a decent DJ can read a crowd and play exactly the right stuff at the right time as well as entertaining you, its not as simple as just bunging on a record when the previous one finishes.Comment
