How about from event tickets?
How about from royalties for tracks being used in compilations/mixes like the Gatecrasher series?

How much more can artists get if the middlemen are eliminated?

I think this should answer some of your questions quite well.

From slashdot.org
"The NY Daily News has an uplifting look at the fate of a (hypothetical) 4-piece band "making it big" in today's RIAA-driven music industry. The condensed version: A band that sells 500,000 records for $8,490,000 gross ends up (after a few iterations of the new math) with $161,909 in their pocket. Split four ways, that's a whopping $40,477.25 each for a record that probably took close to a year to produce. And this is for a record that goes gold (as per the article, only 128 of some 30,000 records released in 2002 were so privileged). And I bet you wanted to be a rock star when you were a kid..."

moral of the story.. don't quit your day job. unless you have other things happening to generate income (tours, marketing, etc).

do most djs/producers hold PT/casual/FT day jobs to support their productions? (before they reach the millions of $$, IF they get there)

The problem is that i don't think he DJs at all, i've never seen any sets from him and have never seen any information regarding sets.

I think he is only a producer so that is why he is losing money.

Seriously, start releasing your stuff down here and we wont have to download it.

mind you, most of the cd's I buy are around that mark anyway

b4 lightning records closed.. bonzai was to open a new realm of Bonzai Australia NZ.. 1st releases were Rising star vs airwave - sunspot, mike vs j00f - icecream..

the sad state of affairs with these Belgium legends is farked. ive ordered vinyl from the lightning records site a number of times. the majority of records i play atm are lightning records sublabels, majority Airwave stuff. Airwave is my number 1 producer! the productions that come out from all his guises are beautiful, and i own a huge selection of vinyl which i paid retail for. any1 heard "Antarctica - Adrift (Airwave vs Indoctrinate Remix)"? quality! L-vee please don't give up buddy, i support u and i know a lot of fellow djs that do too but no matter what ur decision, u rawk my world
