Just remembered few things:
From Guinness Book of World records:
1. Youngest DJ
DJ Llewellyn Owen, from London, UK, (aka DJ Welly) headlined at The Warp club in London, UK on May 1, 2000, when he was eight years and 70 days old. He was paid £125 (US$180) per hour - the standard rate for headlining. Before he was five years old, DJ Welly began experimenting with record decks, as his father was involved in the free party scene in the Northants area in England. People started giving Llewellyn their old records and he soon began to DJ to earn pocket money until he later turned professional. His family is baffled as to where Llewellyn gets his talent from as they are not involved in music. Llewellyn has four sisters and is home educated. He also attends drama school and is very creative. He has recently started composing music with two older girls and his father feels that fame and fortune beckons. Having headlined famous clubs such as The Ministry of Sound in London and played on national TV and radio, it is easy to see why!
2. Best-Selling Drum 'n' Bass Album
The best selling drum 'n' bass album is New Forms by Reprazent, which has sold a total of 763,910 albums around the world. They sold 250,000 within the UK and 513,910 worldwide. Reprazent, based in Bristol, England, is made up of Roni Size, Krust, DJ Die, Suv, MC Dynamite, and vocalist Onallee. They were formed in 1992, when Roni and Krust joined forces, having met previously when Krust had booked a hall for a club night and hired Roni's sound system. Although they formed their own label, Full Cycle, in 1993, they also released records on V Recordings, including the early classic Music Box. In June, 1997, Reprazent released their album New Forms on the Talkin Loud label, gaining instant success and recognition.
3. Oakie made it into Guinness as well as the highest paid DJ (that was before he started giving interviews about his personal nutritionist, masseuse, yoga instructor, and posh lifestile that turned off most of his british fans and gained him a twatted rep in UK)
4. Tiesto claims to have started spinning at the age of 8 years old?
5. Carl Cox allegedly has a contract stating how many pillz and coke he is supposed to get, his preference for hookers, hotel accomodations, etc. I'll try to find it, so dont' flame me.
6. JP (jonathan peters) sometimes gets mashed during his sets. (allegedly)
7. The guy from Jane's addiction is a DJ now (can't remember his name)
8. BT calls Peter Gabriel his "musical dad"
9. Dido is Rollo's sister and part of Faithless (duh?)
10. I'm going to be a famous producer one day and you'll get to make up stories about me!  ... Now, if I only knew how to play my harmonica well enough to "make it"....
