Worlds Richest Dj????

[walgman]

Who is the highest paid DJ in the world today????

Sasha has to be up there will all his amercian bigness. never hear about carl cox nowdays maybe cause im into yank music now.

my guess is louie vega!!!! He (to me) is the most talented and also prolific producer and seems to travel more than most eg japan and europe.

or maybe tiesto!!!! like a bit of his trancey stuff but only a bit!

 

[glenn]

think oaky was in the guiness book of records cuople year ago as bein the biggest earning dj int world!!!

 

[ikontraband]

loads

theres loads of djs earning 5 figure sums these days , fees do vary as it sometimes depends on size of venue , time of year , xmas nye ect ect , but all the usual suspects still get mega bucks , fat boy slim , tiesto , morrillo , sasha , digweed ,tenaglia , cox , oakenfold , (deep dish rumours of upto 35k a set ) ,


just glad crap djs like jeremy healy aint , i rememmber the days when he got massive 5 figure sums and did 2 or 3 gigs a nite , not anymore lol

 

[Buzz]

my money is on sasha.. with the others kontraband mentioned not far behind.

i just hope judge jules aint up there cuz i dont rate the twat.

 

[seandelier]

oakenfold easily i reckon

tong gets a pretty penny nowadays as well

I dont mind him, hes done some nice progressive contributions in the past with the perfecto label and some good global underground mixes, so a thumbs up from me.

thats a hard one to explain, but if longetivity comes into the equation, it has to be sasha. he was there from the start, and where the rave scene begun.

pounds dont make prizes, affection does.

just my ten penth.

 

[dodgymix]

probably the highest for one gig

can anyone remember that tw@t Junior Vasquez who wouldn't play out side America(probably new York. Typical yank probably didn't have a passport lol)



they offered him £100k for one set ($200k in todays excelent exchange rate)) to play a huge gig organised by MoS and no one wanted to see him so they had to cancel

he was good when he played at cream but is utter wank now and has done some huge train wrecks the only times i have heard him recently

danny rampling and that lot basically started the scene in london in 87 and oakey was there too eventually starting his own night, you cant say sasha has been around longer than oakey

oakey has been milking the yanks out of huge sums for years now and has been payed more than sasha for years now

sasha is by far the better dj though

Listen to Oakenfold's Goa Mix. Far from wank.

Probably done the most to spread dance music in this country and abroad.

He hasn't been good for years though, I'll give you that.

agreed, still listen to the goa mix nowadays

pioneer as you say but i would put tong above him as a spreader of the music

You reckon? I thought Tong was pretty focused on being the don here in the UK, but does he travel and play abroad as much as Oakey has?

Listened to the Goa mix the other day, its fucking top.

his show has gone out all over the world for years now, oakey only really got huge in the states after his own album went big over there, I think sasha and digweed did more as dj's there before him

for a while perfecto was the best label for proggy trance stuff though

i find a lot of people really slag oakey and do not take into consideration what he has done for the scene overall, same with tong in some quarters

oakenfold is a dreadful dj nowadays but i still give him props for kicking off the scene, some great compilations, nights in cream in the 90's, some of the stuff on his label and some of his early remixes

Spot on Sean. Exactly how I see it.

remember carl cox dj'ing two milleniums on two different continents.

remember he got paid half a house for that!
