there isn't much money in producing hardcore...to make money you usually have to play at gigs

The likelihood of ever making enough money to live off is so small, it's definitely not something you'd want to rely on for making a living in the future :>

As an artist, if your track does really well (on any label) you can expect to make:
£20-25 for an mp3 release
£75-250 for a vinyl release (depending how many artists are on the same vinyl)
£500-1000 per track featured on a compilation such as Hardcore Adrenaline or Hardcore Nation (dependent on how many copies are sold)
£2500+ per track on CXH or Bonkers
If you are a 'big name' in the scene, you can expect to receive:
£400-850 for playing a 1 hour DJ set
£400-1000 as a flat rate fee that you can charge an artist for remixing their track (you would then be entitled to no extra money)
(cut those figures in half if you are a 'best breakthrough' kind of name in the scene)
*They are estimates based on information that I believe sales figures in hardcore to be.
I could be a way off and of course there will always be anomolies (like Styles charging £1500 to DJ or something), but I believe that info to be quite good as a general rule

You could make a living off hardcore, only if you don't mind giving head to promotor's / labels though

Don't expect to be able to buy up a nice mansion in Beverly Hills.

Depends, if you make stuff in the 2000s style you will find yourself out of money as everyone is getting sick of the Raverbaby style which as from 1.1.10 will be classed as 'Old Skool'
Imo you should get a job as a bailiff as we need alot more of them these days...

Making stuff in an RBC style would probably bring in the most money. :P

Definitely not, seriously.. if you're wanting to make a career out of producing music, hardcore unfortuantely isnt the way to go.
