Darren Styles
Gammer
Dougal
Breeze
Hixxy
Joey Riot
Kurt
Squad e
Chris unknown
Fracus
Darwin
Klubfiller
Storm
Whizzkid
Keyes
Enemy
Static
Wotsee
Scott Brown

Dougal owns a nightclub too. That doesn't mean to say he could be dependent on Hardcore, but he does.
Also, Wotsee works for Newport County FC and isn't full time Hardcore.
Some people mentioned, like Klubfiller, also have things in other genres. Re-Con is obviously another example of this.

I'd say all of them aren't using production to make a living - mainly since none of them really produce anymore. Slipmatt gets a lot of quite big bookings. Bunter might survive off his Kool London radio thing

I dont mean people who just strictly make a living from hardcore and dont do anything else, but people who earn enough money from hardcore that would equate to a decent full time living. i left re - con off cause he doesnt take that many bookings anymore, same with sy.
Your probably right with vibes hes 1 i forgot to put on the list.

Yeah, maybe not production but I reckon they make a nice bit of coin from their bookings.

I would say most struggle along trying to stay full time just off bookings.
I think only 5 or 6 tops would be comfy off bookings & the rest would just get by without doing something else.
I had dougal booked recently & he said he was involved in quite a few different things, he seem's a smart guy who invested alot from the beginning of his career in the 90's when the rave scene took off.

I'd often wondered this about Luna-C, actually.

I think on one of the earlier HU Podcasts A.B (I think) discusses how he made the switch to full-time.

I'd bet Al Storm would've been full-time at some point.

I bet he has at least a couple a weekend, maybe not always massive events but enough money to live off for the week.
