rite every friday,saturday and sunday nights most popular djs wud play all three nights even up to three venues a night even in some cases and you are looking at £250 per hour now u add it up..
as for breeze hixxy and styles the sales from clubland xtreme hardcore 1 and 2 where excellent both compilations at number 1 but three djs and the record company aatw all have to cash in on that..
i play gigs at the weekend and i work in a music shop full time during the week....im not rich..lol

wanna make serious money from djing and producing?
hardcore isnt for you ..
take the likes of tiesto/ pvd / armin ... your talking anywhere between £14,000 to £30,000 a set, altho there were rumours tiesto got £100,000 for a set in greece! plus take into the account that they are producing as well and trance/tech trance etc has a big following ... then your more than comfortable ..
for a hardcore dj your talking between paying travelling expenses to about a grand? (rough estimate!!) i know the likes of Chris.E.Manic Uplift Scott Devotion juggle a 9-5 job, djing and producing to live comfortablely
i personally charge £40 + travel ... so i think i'm pretty affordable ... plus i give my all in my sets and dont just churn out the same set for 6 months and the usual ******** you get from certain big name dj's ....

is it possible to hire dj's for houseparty's? lol
Yes as long as you pay that's all that matters, you would need equipment set up obviously. I remember sharkey saying in a interview he was hired to play a house party before.

1210's, half decent mixer and some loud speakers would do it i rekon, they would probably want about 300 for a set especially if its on a weekend

He gets £99.95.
Cunney - Doubt there going to haul there stuff over but they might do for extra money... A set of decent sized speakers, amps, records, decks and a mixer is not easy to get in a car :P The bigger the DJ the less likely they are to do it I'd say.
None of your friends mix!?!?!? Not many of my friends don't have a set of decks.
