| I think it's his advantage we measure his career by the cars he owns and not his music. There's not much to say on the music, but the Ferrari I could get jealous of. |

Armin van Buuren $60 Million USD :eek: Pauly D 300 so i think AvB is even more O.o.
I remind that a club in my city booked Above & Beyond some years ago, they only sold like 300 tickets or so, 20$ each more or less = 6000$ but that club went bankrupt some months later so i think they cost more xD
And yes is astonishing how much money do trance figures make, their sets are the most simple in the world, Hawtin is using laptops but it's like a proper live set, this guy only mix unheartedly on the show and compose jesus poses. But yet i'm sure very few trance djs are making real money. |

As I said before, everyone in the top 100 Trance circuit makes pretty good money. But the rest prolly won't get booked at all. |

yes i see but now we talked about Tritonal
02/25/2011 Digital Society Fourth Birthday
O2 Academy Leeds
03/14/2011 Love Groove @ San Bernardino Showground, Victorville
03/24/2011 Winter Music Conference
Ultra Music Festival
Check his tour dates, they have 3 gigs/month probably if they didn't charge so much they'd have more gigs, ok 9,000$ month is a lot still :P but you know promoters look for exposure and Tritonal besides their casual appearing on ASOT aren't as famous to get a club packed.
This said i love their productions i don't know how their sets look like but i think they live in Texas which seems like a wasteland for trance.
Same goes for Leon Bolier:
February 18th 2011
Luminosity at Westerunie – Amsterdam,
Netherlands
February 25th 2011
Gatecrasher Singapore at Soul - Singapore
March 19th 2011
A State of Trance 500 at MTN Expo Centre - Johannesburg,
And i think you Play in ASOT for free so this is 2 gigs/month for a top 100 dj |

| quote: | If Rob Reiner wanted to remake This Is Spinal Tap for the 21st century, he wouldn't have Marty DiBergi following a washed-up British rock band; he'd embed him with a European DJ crew.
This thought occurs approximately four minutes into Take One, a documentary – if you will, rockumentary – about popular DJ tag-team Swedish House Mafia. One of their number, Sebastian Ingrosso, is throwing a hissy fit because he hasn't been given his own car to take him from his hotel to a nearby festival site. " ing organised !" spits the portly disc-spinner in the direction of an unfortunate lackey. "I don't want to sit with 15 people; my head is in my DJ set!"
In fairness to him, all great artists probably need a bit of "me time" before taking the stage, but if Take One is anything to go by, a typical Swedish House Mafia DJ set involves little more than three pot-bellied men punching the air to an electro-house version of Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.
These days, rock bands are extremely wary of any behaviour that could be considered even vaguely Tap-esque, especially when there's a video camera around. As a result, most rock tour films are excruciatingly dull. Take One benefits hugely from the fact that This Is Spinal Tap does not appear to be such a rite of passage among the dance music fraternity. Blissfully unaware of the hapless capers of the band who brought us Stonehenge, the Swedish House Mafia – a kind of smug DJ supergroup featuring Ingrosso, Steve Angello and Axel "Axwell" Hedfors – embrace all the old cliches of life as a touring band with commendable gusto.
Many of the situations they get into will be instantly familiar to fans of Rob Reiner's film. As well as their tantrums and over-earnest dissections of what is essentially some pretty dumb music, they have trouble distinguishing between sexy and sexist ("You wanna party?" inquires Axwell optimistically of every single female he encounters, while Ingrosso rocks up to one venue and declares, with no apparent irony, "I'm going to this nightclub in the "); they invoke the dance music equivalent of turning it up to 11 ("I don't wanna hear the bass, I wanna feel it"); and even find themselves booked to play somewhere called Mystery Land and having to share the stage with a man dressed as Big Bird from Sesame Street.
Of course, one crucial difference between Take One and This Is Spinal Tap is that Swedish House Mafia are currently at the peak of their popularity, so there are no awkward moments when nobody turns up to an in-store signing or one of their girlfriends insists on playing tambourine. If the film-makers return to follow Swedish House Mafia in 10 years' time, the results should be even funnier. |
