Disclosure - mad skills

[chekov]

yeah i bet scuba makes bare coin

[Laszlo]

so you reckon someone like Scuba who owns a label and puts out releases is clearing like 100k a year?

man that would be so fucking sweeet

Does the tnuc ever look happy though?

[DiegoSapiens]

good drugs are expensive, sure than half of the 2k goes through the nose in the same night

[ezza]

id be worried for my health if i was clearing that sorta p

[magma]

id be over the moon if i was getting that per set.

init if your playing one set a week that's a 6 figure salary, i'd consider myself made if i was getting that lol

6 figures doesn't mean anywhere close to "made" in 2013, tbh. Comfortable, sure... but if I "made it" as an artist I'd want to be living a lot better than that. You can exist pretty gloriously in London on £100k, but equally you can barely afford a mortgage on a central 2 bed - 7 figures is really where you start living well AND stacking for the future.

how many people play a set a week though?

I imagine the people that are demanding a couple of grand a set are likely to play a set a week at least, aren't they?

Nah, the likes of Kode9/Loefah/Joy O are not playing every week.

[Lye_Form]

yeah surely, also if your getting 2k a set you must be making it rain from your releases aswell?

There is fuck all money in releases.

loool when mj cole played in birmingham he k holed behind the decks after his set and someone had to carry him to a taxi

@magma yeah i mean as an artist like i would consider myself to have reached my goals.

@lye form fair enough

I lost all respect for MJ Cole when I saw him at Ram Records in London and he played a brostep remix of Sincere.

He's been doing that for years actually

[magma]

Ensuring that someone remixes Sincere into whatever style is currently freshest has been the cornerstone of MJ Cole's business plan for the last decade.

[wub]

Boo-urns to MJ Cole.

[mIrReN]

wait what? what's the rest of his set like then?

[wub]

wait what? what's the rest of his set like then?

It wasn't Classic Cole, but I remember sticking around for most of it so it can't have been that bad. Then his last tune, the strings and vocal sample creep in and everyone cheered because it was recognisible as Sincere, then it dropped and it was like "oh...don't do it...be sincere...WUBWUBWUWUWUWUWUWUBBBBBBB" and half the crowd left.

Lots of money = lots of freedom.

[skell1ngton777]

meh

i know what you are trying to say but i don't entirely buy that mentality tbh

[chekov]

if i could ever live off money made from music alone, that'd make me insanely happy

i dont think i'll ever get a triple figure salary from anything

[DiegoSapiens]

i don´t really want money i want free time
