You know, as pompous as he is, I gotta agree. If you guys read the article he mentioned that Afrojack said he only makes music that is "good". How much more arrogant can you be? And personally, if he thinks his music is good well then I am just as good as he is,and that ladies and gentlemen is simply not true, I suck!
Joel hit it on the head though, he said don't make music you think is good, make music YOU enjoy and me taking that further is if a label sees something in that and your music gets heard? It is extra special.
There should not be a business in EDM, it should be for personal gain in artistry. Sure..peeps need to eat,but this is crazy how some of these guys are making mad cash doing something that is virtually a kids game.
Here in vegas at hakkasan I have heard that Tiesto and gang are making 250k for there residencies. I never heard if that was a combined amount for all the shows or if the rumor was true and it was for single appearances (which I find hard to believe but, I guess it is possible) and yes Joel....dont talk to soon, your one of them!
Granted, this is all being said from a person who is NOT nor will I ever be in the position these guys are. How long will it last? Better secure your shit, you never know when or if that bubble will bust in your face
