I used to have a lot of respect for a certain big name DJ (who I wont be naming) until I knew how much was getting paid for his set. Now I have a lot less respect in that person as an individual but the same when it comes to achievements. I understand that people have bills, families to support and dreams to fulfil. But the figures I heard were downright greedy (imo)

One of the reasons I got into Techno (besides the music) was the attitude, it (at the time) felt like something which stood against the horror that has become popular/commercial music. It’s great that there are people out there who give a little more, yet there contribution isn’t really acknowledged by the average punter. Now that’s respectful shit. I also respect good promoters too as it breaks my heart knowing that a good night out can and does leave the promoter in debt. There promoters who are putting there life on the line, why not djs too? Afterall as far as the club scene is concerned neither can exist without each other
