Poor Richie Hawtin...twenty years topping his scene and he can't even scrap together a lousy 2 Mil

lol he probably made more than that off the beatport sale alone..

How big is his stake though? It only sold for $50 Million. It's not as lucrative a business as people make it out to be. I think gross revenue last year was $49 million but that netted only $2.7 million.

That being said he should definitely be on a list of highest earners/net worth for electronic musicians. This list definitely seems like bullshit.

i love reading ben rayner's reviews.

 

[Spinsah]

He's great. It's so hard to be music critic with little pretension while maintaining taste and passion. He's managed to do so in all the years I've been reading him. He must have been with The Star for 15 years by now!

I skipped going to VELD even though my buddy was going to buy me a ticket cause he knows I love Tenaglia. I said forget it man, save your money. We could drive to New York and see him play for a lot more than 2 hours and still have money left over from the $400 + VELD would cost.


Say no to commercial raving people or it will only get worse.

Vegas is a huge turn-off for me, also I could care less what they are making , it’s just hype

…and again I would rather support local Toronto DJs any day of the week

 

[vinder]
