Digweed? Actually it's one of few on this list that's good and you should know of

Like this one
http://www.discogs.c...ate/master/1459

With "Enjoyed" by Chems or Trisco - Musak (Wonderland Avenue Remix) which Chems played a lot in their dj sets. By the way it's an amazing track



Northern Exposure mix with Sasha is also great.

seriously?

JJ is kinda rubbish 90's trance star, but Digweed is a bit of a legend in progressive house land


so many of those dj's are shit

ooo i forgot about Musak, good stuff

I think Pumisher joked about Digweed

Many good artists on list, some not so good (for me at least)

I am shocked to see Darude in it

this goes on to prove the big money is in gigging, not great musicians who put out classic records. i know for a fact a lot of these idiots gig a lot - I've seen Diggers play twice here and he sucked.
I think the brothers are pretty happy with that money(is it 7.5 million each?!). Tom has a million dollar studio. And they make this stupid list.
I'm sure Liam makes a lot of money with those big gigs - wonder he bribed his way out of this list?

i don't make jokes. never.

I think the misleading term is Dj-ing. The Chems rarely dj, only every now and then whereas lots of those other ones are primarily dj-ing. The same goes for Liam. He does concerts. I've never heard of him playing records (except in his dirtchamber... for which I still miss vol.2)

Common sense tells me Tom and Ed's net profits per gig is confidential but it comes as no surprise they must bank a pretty penny when it comes to their appearances. Especially djing - With djing they can hop on a plane to Italy for example, do their thing and be back home in time for lunch the next day. So with that, djing seems to be profitable (if we are going by the numbers) no worrying about tour busses and hauling around all that live show racket!

Common sense also tells me that 15 mil is not written in stone and split down the middle between the 2 of them. Booking agents, their manager, and everyone else behind the Chems appearing courtesy of, all are getting a share too - I would think. How much is divvied by what and who is anyone's guess.


Anyway, if those numbers are remotely based in reality, some of those figures in that list are quite staggering.

Csar - Liam used to do dj sets earlier for afterparties to their gig, etc.. but he told me he's completely stopped for the last many years.
Whirly - the 7.5 each was just me trying to be funny since they listed Daft Punk specifically as "each"- am sure this or any poll will be way off from any nos. people actually make. Just a weird list with some names most of us would never imagine in there. It is a weird list no doubt. Moby? Seriously?

Actually Liam Howlett made a private gig for a russian businessman for 2 million dollars, he should be very high up this list.
