If you have dumbass ravers and clubgoers who will spend that much to see him then I don't blame the industry for jacking up prices. People really need to look at the business standpoint of things and stop bitching about eithical prices and selling out. Stupid thread again. -Steve

Anyone remembers "Another day @ the office" when he stated that formerly he used to play in front of 400 ppl in a club in breda and had to make the cleaning of the closet at the end of the set, and no one was waiting for him in a row to get a sig...

This guy is the one who made this board pass from 200 ppl connected @ the same time to 850...

this guy is a chance.

He is strictly the opposite of a vanitous selfish oakie, he is humble, you can bother him whenever you want to have a photo whith him... i won't dare to ask to oakie for sure.

I guess that the big wonder with this money, this guys remains the same, simply enjoying givin' gigs...

Who can blame a man who did "silence (in search of sunrise remix)" to earn good wages... without this title, trance may never have crossed the ocean... he was the one who brought trance to the U.S xith his tour with moby.

So please stop complaining about wages... i would only add one thing to see this man i have almost to do more than 1200 km by train or car to see him in holland or ibiza or even farer in UK, and the same distance to come back home.... 2400 km to see one guy... so i can't blame ppl living in capitals having a gig with him or any good dj next to their houses complaining about wages, each time i go clubbing it costs me a pain in the ass, but hell, how divine this is, it's priceless.

He deserves by his work all that happens to him, today.

And he is not the only one ; PvD @ GC NYE 2YK (sheffield stadium)earned £100 000 for two hours set....

Don't get me wrong : I don't want waste my moeny, but, i can't find anything close to the feelings i get in this kind of gigs.

Not true, at least in my case. He played in Chicago and ignored everybody, with the exception of a few girls he brought up to the booth. Absolutely no pictures with anyone. Most of his time was spent mixing drinks, rather than records. Could have been a rare night like that, but it was pretty bad.
