    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    carl cox is the most then people like hawtin i think. gotta think tho these people headline festivals and make people big money.... trouble is if you where a dj and knew someone would pull 10,000 people off you playing and make 50 k profit wouldnt you want 15k to play? it just makes it harder for us in the underground side to get the big names as they can get big money week in week out round the world... i say good on them if they can get it as look at how much bands our i looked into a world famous dance group for one of the big clubs in ibiza last year and was told 100k plus all extras ! for 2hr set ! Also think alot goes off size of club as many djs will come down in price but to be fair must be hard to drop a massive amount as they get use to having that level of money coming in. i do think techno djs are some of the best for dropping there fee's for smaller clubs as tend to remeber there roots and that techno is only so big in uk and lot of out side uk djs really love playing hear.

    Fees change a bit depending on how much hassle the gig is.

    If someone wants to fly you to the other side of the world to play, take up 4 days in travelling etc they are damn well going to pay you for it. If its a gig round the corner at a club you like and its good fun and the promoters look after you its can be a different story.

    Had an offer for Dave Clarke accepted last year for 3 and a half g.

    Got quoted 3g for christian Varela.

    Mauro Picotto (wouldnt call him techno anymore, if he was atall) wanted 5 and a half g, 2 5 star hotel rooms 2 first class flights, and a personal driver or limo for the day, what a ****ing piss take

    Would imagine coxy is about the most expensive, as he plays mostly big venues.

    A lot of big names don't make the money per gig that you think they do. It's not the '90s anymore.

    thats true - I know one well known name who will play for half what he was getting 10 years ago....which considering inflation must suck!

    yeah, mainstream Trance DJs make crazy money. the names you see listed on compilations like GU make like 30k for some gigs. at that level, it's a business transaction. certain names could show up and shite on the decks to a positive crowd reaction.
