There's some great DJing talent on TA IMO, but producers (that don't lurk)..

Activa, Arnej, the mau5, Max Graham, Endre just off the top of my head.

ok seriously..theres a couple of u on herer that are not getting the point of this thread...we dont want to know of DJS that are big and post here..we wanna know of djs that made it big AFTER TA

there are a shitload of big names out there that post on TA or lurk as well..hey lets just say "we got talent..james zabiela, demi, dave dresden, so on and so forth" just because they post on TA

Example: deadrodent himself says that he is NOT A DJ and even if he were, he signed up sometime last year on TOTA only to reply to the hype on him. he wasnt a TOTA that made it big

Nuera, aleksandra (formerly reckless girl), colas, dirty mex...wtf are you guys on about? There's lots of up and coming and lots of support for all of them.

Don't blame TA if you can't fill a room.

It is pretty interesting. With 83,159, currently registered users (some lost), you would think that we would have more stars than just Jon O'Bir. With the sheer number of people on here that have decks, and produce, and promote and are involved, the percentage of 'makers' should be much higher.

Is this a sign of how hard things are? Does that mean for all the DJ's out there, even fewer actually make it big? It certainly is a competitive business, and maybe these numbers prove it.

Swamper, is it possible for you to give us a figure on the number of users that have posted in the last year? That way we could see how many active users there are, and how many we could discount.

being a dj/producer is not only expensive (equipment) but is also time consuming and even if you do manage to have time and patience for this hobby not everyone has an ear to pull it off.

The number of people on here with DJ equipment is almost as common as having a T.V.

Lots of people on here can DJ, but creating a different type of sound than what everyone else has, or doing more than just mixing two random tracks together, not many people have that.

True.

+1 for you both.

it sums the state of affairs up pretty well anyway..
a) money
b) time and/or patience
c) innate talent

are all factors in the question, imo.

lol.

2 reasons:

1) too busy posting on TA to actually do something for the music

2) have been involved with too many flame wars that even if they tried putting something out they will get shut down

Posted by StereoPrincess on Aug-07-2008 15:41:

PS. I like Jon Jon the DJ

Only name I can think who was a nobody when started to post on TA and got semi famous as DJ/producer is Luke Terry (and he rarely posts on TA nowadays)
