Still nice... but it is so fucking hard to break through and get a residency @ a club that pays well. Look at me. I started @ 25 bucks a nite doing the lites and opening in a top 40 joint.....Now i am at a reformed 19th century church that pays me 300 a nite and i can play what my electronic heart desires. no top 40 from my fingers.

Congrats on your upward move friend! I watch with sadness as my brother is forced to spin cheese at neighborhood clubs/lounges for scraps (if he sneaks in a quality tune the managers are usually up his ass...)

maybe i should start spinnin too. don't hate on how much they get. shit some stupid basketball player gets a whole lot more because he is freakishly tall and doesnt even have to jump to touch the basket. this is skill.

I'm pretty sure that Paul van Dyk gets on average about 5K Pounds per event. That's the figure I used to hear the last 2 years - it's probably gone up since then.

Carl Cox has been paid 100K Pounds for NYE gigs before.

I did luck out. The managers give me free reign... but as for making it big. I dont see that happening. All of the big boi's (excluding bad boy bill) produce music too... i havent gotten there yet and who knows how long this club will stay open and how long i can manage to spin for 5 hours at a time. yes my gigs are from 10p to 3a.... and that is a long fucking time to mix weekly... so ya..

last year 2002 i know someone that wanted to book Tiesto in seattle

he wanted 10k US for a friday

20k US for a saterday

plus He wanted 3% of everything else

rumours are that Carl Cox got 200.000 guilders (aproxx $ USD 100.000) for his gig on DanceValley 2001.

also Tiesto was offered 1.000.000 guilders (aproxx $ USD 450.000) to play on the millennium-night in England. He turned it down, cause he insisted he wanted to play in Holland that night (Energy 2000, his best set ever)

That's called for the love of the music!
