SHM - 14 million.

I repeat 14 million.

Hate 'em or hate 'em. They sure know how to milk this 'edm' /'big room house'/ 'electro' cash cow for a lot.

The others I can understand, but Kaskade is awful. While doing royalty admin for sales of his Fire/Ice album, I noticed all the publishers were leaving a 'John Doe' composer share free that wasn't being collected. Even Kaskade's ghost writers don't want to be associated with him

Only in this industry by doing the musical equivalent of dropping a Cleveland steamer on a plate and serving it to people do you find success.

Eh. Same across all genres of music. The most popular music is always the least common denominator.

Yet another troll bait post

I guarantee someone in this thread is going to come in here with a worthless profanity-laced tirade

I don't care for any of these DJ's, but in the long run, I think EDM's rising popularity is a good thing. Of all the kids who are exposed to it now, some will dig deeper and find more sophisticated artists, and some may go on to produce interesting music. Sure, it's annoying when I tell my friends that I love electronic music and they think I'm into Tiesto or Guetta, but ultimately the windfall is good for the scene. It's a wonderful thing to be passionate about your job and earn enough money to make a living as a DJ, and Pauly D's success doesn't make every other DJ a fraud.
