lol, fair enough bud!

To be honest it is an interesting topic, but its worth remembering that every single musical act or artist on the planet has a team behind them.
There is always a front man who for whatever reason has obtained that status for good reason. I never really spared much thought as to all the behind the scenes production of music. I only care if I like the track.

If someone gets somebody elses creative input for a day, I'm sure the favour will be returned. After all, a lot of these guys are probably friends

Exactly, producers/DJs are friends and often they help each other out.. besides the music the biggest names are releasing is music that are being played on MTV, Clubs and radio stations all over the world. It really needs to be of the highest quality.

so can't we just fucking conclude that there are three types of producers? with examples from the guys already mentioned:

- the big fishes: long career, see themselves as a product, lots of marketing, are not bothered getting "a little help" in the studio to dj more often and get more more more more more money. examples: armin van buuren, tiesto, sven väth

- the small fishes: short career, "newcomers", more or less talented but benefit from the possibilities of digital production and the internet, secret weapon: ableton, get help from their friends. examples: niklas harding, deadmau5, whatdoiknow

- the actual producers: lots of studio experience and credibility, produce all of their stuff themselves, if they dj it doesn't affect their studio work, keeping a low profile, main concern isn't money. examples: martin buttrich, many other techno guys

of course there is overlap, but this pretty much sums it up i think. you can classify your superstar for yourself now.

my thoughts exactly

add DJ Fei Fei aka FFW and DJ Gil LA aka Reverse to the list of people who claim to produce but dont.

Fei Fei does not know how to produce, Joey Medina does everything for her so she can further her djing career. Same with DJ Gil LA aka Reverse, he has other people produce for him to further his djing career.
