only know of some dnb producers.

Icicle was studying mechanical engineering before he took off with crit releases and everything. he's left the uni one semester away from graduating but still goes to some lectures now and then. man never had a real day job.
Hybris is an englishteacher (rad as fuck if you ask me).
Mefjus was working as a programmer, delevoping industrial software. he quit his day job a few months after he got signed by Critical, I believe. but maybe he's still working three days a week, dunno...
DLR was/still is (?) working with Jack Sparrow and Ruckspin at Eiger Studios. other than that, I've never seen another guy smoke so much weed and still play Fifa so well.
Enei worked in an office part-time, before he got his first bookings in europe in. guy's getting married this year (22yrs old or sth?).

Yeah and he's written stuff too.
Kode9 would have been my main lecturer in year 2 if I hadn't dropped out at the end of my first year... I didn't find this out until afterwards though :u:
he quit lecturing last year or so, i think. read it in an interview somewhere

He ditched it last year.
Nobody mentioned Objekt yet? He holds a dream job of many of you here, Native Instruments. He said somewhere he could afford a living through his DJing alone but he loves the job.

Isn't he a software developer though? Not like his job is just to piss around with NI all day.

Objekt (static_cast on here) is a software engineer, and I think Emika does sound design and library work.

Got a feeling most of them will be claiming tax credits to make up for the shortfall, after the dubstep bubble burst in 2011 and the bookings for original music dried up. Can't imagine many royalties coming in for most, especially the ones that now make shit house.

If you're a self employed DJ can you claim back VAT on vinyls?
