What are you basing this assumption on. :P
I would imagine he charges completely different rates depending on the size and location of the party... This is what most do.

Well, I've spoken to promoters in the UK and rates were pretty similar whether they're in North America or not.
When we book UK DJs here, they generally need to have at least two gigs on the weekend to make it worth the travel but we don't get ripped off or anything.
Just saying, I highly doubt Gammer only charges 350 quid a set, unless he has like 4 sets lined up for one night. I'd expect at least 500 quid.
Pointless argument I guess, not sure why I brought it up.

someone like... darren styles for example, is he living in a mansion on a beach, does he have a boat etc? or does he live a more meager life...

other than that, i'd imagine these people are (fairly) normal.
Oh yeah cos like Scot Brown's getting in Cat Knights pants
I doubt any of them are living in mansions and have boats to be honest.
They're not making millions... From hardcore anyway...

I wonder how many hardcore producers/DJ`s use drugs.
-Drugs are a constant referance in hardcore/gabber music
-It`s dance music, which is commonly associated with drugs
-Drugs are awesome so if they aren`t taking them they should
-I remember an interview where Re-Con points out that the camera guy is smoking a fatty, and then the joint is showed for all of 5 seconds

my company has paid a lot of money to big name hardcore talent, none of which i'm willing to detail on this forum, but lets just say, 350 pounds is a screaming deal. if that is all that gammer charges that is.
and also to audio x, if it weren't for hhc.com, if you were to approach me for a booking and asked for more than a hundred bucks and i'd never heard of you, i'd tell you to get fcuked.
*edited to say*
that came off kinda wrong, i don't mean you personally, just someone in general that had tracks out yet had no draw and no west coast presence at all.

I'm sure they live pretty normal lives out of the the rave scene. Guys like Dougal, Styles and Brisk look like they hit the gym in their spare time.
Probably work out to Hardcore lol!

Because they have to spend x amount of time travelling and time is money.

I don't know if he does, but Hardcore makes for amazing work-out music, especially the high energy BB/NG stuff! You can literally run on the bpm of the track.

You don't have the draw someone like Gammer or Hixxy has. Really, booking fees should be almost directly proportional to draw.
