Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

^^^ people who are bored host a show.

Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

I am sure eventually he will reach that point. But with technology changing so much it is kinda hard to get bored with djing & music in general. You have to look at it djing relies heavily on technology advances. As long as things keep progress forward I think it would be hard to get borded.

He plays too much electro for me.

He hosts an electro show now.

Yep, we got your drift Ska. Im with you on that one too....Diggers has been really hit or miss for almost three years now. Seems like the progressive fans are truely divided by this new sounds. Some people hear it and dislike it, and others like it without knowing any difference. I dont think Digweed is bored of playing. If he didnt want to do it, he wouldnt. However, the opposite is true for me....Im bored of Digweed. I havent even had the steam to want to go and catch a live set of his at the local clubs. - There are too many other up an coming Djs that keep the music where I like it....deep, dark and dirty....thank God for the Greeks and Aussies!

Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

i don't think "if he didn't want to do it, he wouldn't" is entirely true... he's so popular, he might feel like he needs to do it... for the people.

It wouldn't be far off, I was lucky enough *cough* to be at a festival recently which Morillo was headlining. Festival was nothing too massive, about 12,000 people, with quite a large DJ lineup. Morillo got $25,000 for doing the afterparty alone.. in a club which is lucky to hold more than 350 people.

I saw S&D together quite a few years back, maybe around 2000, in Memphis,TN. I talked with one of the promoters and he said that Sasha and Digweed costed $35,000 for a seven hour set, which breaks down to $5000 an hour together. Not sure what the going rate is today, but I would assume that each one is between $2500-5000 an hour, depending on location and amenities. One thing I cant figure our is how they play less econmically viable countries like the Czech Republic, Hungary, etc. When I caught Sasha in Prague, tickets were 300 korun, which broke down to $10 a head. In a club of 1000 tops, thats only a $10,000 night, so how they can afford to pay for mainstream headliners, I dont know, unless the headliner takes a big cut in pay and does it for the hell of it.

Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

what a life...making 5 grand an hour to play cds...and party your ass off...and see the world.

i am jealous.

Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

hmmm.....my thought is that if he were bored, he would just stop doing it. If you are a dj you aren't really in this for the money and fame....you are in it for the love of the music and making people happy.

Ludicrous comment. Whether he's bored or not, I doubt it's the DJing part which he would be bored with - as long as he's playing music he geniunely likes. It would be the relentless travelling. When DJing around the world, the travelling is what you get paid for really. Sitting in airport lounges, being driven to places, or catching trains, being in hotels, away from your family and friends. It's a real pain in the arse.

Sponsorship. Most eastern European clubs that bring in big names use sponsor money to bring them in and keep the door price down.

Re: Do you think Digweed is bored?

Electro or prog, imagine how much music he gets inundated with. But he's still picking out the tunes and putting them together for a show. And they're nothing cheesy. So I don't hear him being bored with the music he plays much as I dislike that electro crap (which is unfortunate because electro can be good, but it's gone all pete tong with everyone latching on and playing more trendy crap than good music).
