want a real laugh......tht cnunt TIESTO wanted 14K to play in Scotland about 3-4 yr ago......a club owner up near ma bit went to book him and he was booked up a whole yr in advance......CRAAAAZY money

aint techno but a thot a would throw tht one in

[basslinejunkie]

clarke or mills id say.

[Mucky Beats]

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.

I would say Mills.

[Mucky Beats]

Tony Blackburn

Now thats hardcore techno.

So hardcore hes gone out of the other side and has become so underground hes overground. keeping it on the low in the light.

[Jay Pace]

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 certain guy from slovenia apparently got 15k for nye party last week...

My mate tony?

[davethedrummer]

well it's obvious isn't it?

I am the top earner in techno

yes folks it's ME ME ME ME !!!!!!!!!! all the way !!!!!!!!

i have regular dinner evenings with my bank manager and his lovely wife
and we discuss how i could possibly buy the continent of Africa and save all the starving children etc

but you know....

i can't be arsed with all that goody goody bullshit stuff !no bleeding hearts here mate , I EARN my money properly and NO-ONES going to take it away from me.

yes it's good old hard work that gets me paid.....

In fact it's a bit like working in the street for a construction company digging ditches all day in the rain and coming home stinking of sweat and tar and dirt and piss.

Only it's more like getting paid a years wages in a night for poncing around in nice shirts and flash cars and having posh birds try to suck my cock all the time , while i play records made by the blood and tears of incredibly talented but horrendously underpaid musicians , who i occasionally mention in MY blog on MY space while i talk about MY self...i mean talk about work work work.....i just never stop.

no i'd just rather get sent all my records for free
wake up at 4pm
take the odd call from the label manager and the agent
who tell me where the next pay check is coming from.
and get on the internet and watch my bank balance iiiiiiincrease in real time

meanwhile

according to the daily mirror
73% of the country are finding this month hard to make ends meet.

[Alan Oldham]

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

[lunatrick]

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!
