Avicii's new crib - Holy shit!

[pedro01]

Avicci worked pretty fucking hard for that money, anyboody who has been a DJ or a club promoter knows what kind of lifestyle you have to live to be a good DJ, alot of travelling,drugs,no sleep, dealing with E-tards all the time. very hard industry. avicci will be fucking tired for years when he settle down. hell he might gas out in just a year or two. It's just a shitty lifestyl being one of the worlds best DJ's. Rave/Party secenes all night get sickening! hard to stay clean from drugs. I bet avicci barely slept all of last year. he will burn out soon. he won;t own that house for long.

Don't talk wet.

Digging up roads for a living is hard work. Playing records is so far from it.

And lets be honest, that's the fucking best song ever created. Simply Unbeatable. I don't know how the guy does that, but the song was THE shit coming out, then it got boring after a year or so for a few months and now it starts getting cool again. Listen to it again all the time these days like it just came out

It's a good tune - not the best by far. In fact, it's quite "poppy" and mainstream compared to where this scene started out.

This tune is pretty much a toned down version of No Good by prodigy. Really just made more mainstream - up the synths, drop the hard drumline, keep the uplifting hook.

I was raving in the early 90's in the UK - This sort of tune was typical fare in say 94-95. It's not unlike a lot of the stuff that was coming out on Perfecto Flouro back then.

I remember Y2K - some spotty youth telling me he'd been raving for 10 years. I asked how old he was - turned out he was 18. Basically a guy late to the scene knowing it was past it's glory and trying to somehow link himself to the early days.

So now it's 2014 and how has the scene changed? Well it hasn't really. It's just a rehash. This tune is a rehash.

So really, youth of today - how about you get your own fucking genre? Every other decade did it. Did we really peak creatively in the 90's such that you can't actually move music on?

I am actually embarrassed for the youth of today having to borrow a 25 year old 'scene'.

[pedro01]

Commercial bollocks, you need to get out more mate, some tracks that never get played mainstream blow the socks off that one.

For me one of the best dance tracks ever made.

Exactly - golden times. In fact really Golden if you went to Stoke.

Renaissance do's were great - I remember one in a stately home in York.

Like I say - everything now is borrowed from the 90's and early 00's.

if he plays one 1hr set per weekend, that's $312k per year from playing events alone, and that's probably low-balling his minute-rate at $1000/min.

not to mention royalties from producer credits.

$20mil this year, another $15-20mil next year.. plus interest/dividends on investments. he should be set for life.

I don't see how he's gonna make much profit on that place after spending $15.5 mil.. wonder what the mortgage is on $15.5 mil. his monthly expenses including insurance, property tax, maintenance, ect have got to be near 2million/year.

[galeniko]

Everytime Levels, Hey Brother or Wake me up is played on Radio or TV this guy sees cash. And those are GLOBAL hits, they are played thousands of times all over the globe - EVERYDAY SINGLE DAY.

On top of that this guy has upt to 300 gigs per year, cashing 6 fig per hour. Won't see his cool house too often, but that MoFo is Rollin in cash.

6figures per hour?

i never even hear of the guy.

6figures what place pays this?

Summersplash, X-Jam (those are the "Spring Breaks" of Europe), Tomorrowland (biggest music festival on planet earth, 360.000 people this year - sold out within 1 hour).

Guetta or Tiesto get up to 250.000 per gig, and Avicii is in their league now too.

I mean look at the crowds they play, that's simply unbelieveable:

[galeniko]

Stupidest post on getbig ever,.
A DJs life is a fucking piece of piss, they dont even play records anymore, at least that required some skill to pull off.
ANYONE can DJ these days, literally anyone.
Its all on PC the tunes mix themselves with beat counters and all kinds of technology.

Fucking hell I know a few DJs from way back who still do it, they used to carry around boxes of records , now they turn up with a laptop and even play pre-mixed sets.

Wake the fuck up, that post of yours is an insult to people who put in a days work anywhere.

yah this amici shouldnt be labeled as dj, hes more like justing bieber, the music is so shit its about the same.

a dj, my personal understanding, would be carl cox, yeah good idea, someone tell carl cox that amici is the number 1 dj in the world and see what he says.

But these are not weekly events - these guys don't do this every Saturday night.

yeah,maybe myabe at such festivals, if that.

im not saying his commercial hits dont make him much money,but the dj gigs, not sure at all.

it did. I met some young kids not too long ago and asked them what kind of music is popular with their generation, and ir was all late 90s early 2000s hard rock, older grunge, techno, and modern pop..so basically what I gathered is they were listening to the same shit I graduated with a decade ago and thought they were so fucking cool and badass listening to Linkin Park songs that were lame as fuck in 1999, let alone 2014.

Yeah, you heared the experts on here. Anyone can rock a croud of 200.000 people who wet their pants because of your music, produce hits which are played all over the globe every single day thousands of times and make 20 million dollars+ per year and move into a crib like in the first post.

they can. Its purely luck. Its not like3 these guys have any musical talent - they just use computers to mix other people music together. So difficult.

maybe if he was actually playing the drums, playing the keyboard lines, actually CREATING the music hes piecing together, id agree that ut takes talent
right now all it rakes for him is an ear for a catchy hook, a forumla, and predone dumb, synth, and bass lines to mix together.

wooooo

u can do it? Proof it.

[Shockwave]

u can do it? Proof it.

I PLAY music, create it... I play Guitar, Bass, Trumpet, Trombone, little bit of Sax and dabbled with drums.... ive played everything from classical, to jazz, to metal.

The dude is not a musician, and there is 500 guys just like him in every ciTy.  Becoming a popular DJ isnt about talent, its about being lucky. ... being in the right place at the right time, knowing the right people, and being consistent.

telling me to.prove it is like me telling you to prove that you can win the lottery. Of course you can, but the odds are astronomically against you.

if you know how to run a computer, run some editing software, and arent a complete tone deaf idiot, you too can make Dance music.

Now im not saying they all are like that...  but the tune on display in this thread is a good example of no talent.

[Nails]

All that shit sounds the same to me

Its just club party drug music

[Team Diver]

"I guess I think like deep inside, I know that it's like, it's a different kind of performing, it's not really... You're not performing like a guitar player or a singer is performing, you know what I mean? So it's weird to be in the same type setup as one of those. 'Cause I'm not really doing much, you know, like technically it's not that hard"

Cool in many ways but if I had that type of money I would never choose this type of house. Too open, too much glass, like sitting in a store window I imagine. Just not aesthetically pleasing to me.

That IS talent. Not everybody can pull that off. Yes a good amount of it is luck...but just because you don't care for someone's creations doesn't mean they're garbage. Anybody can cook, too, but that doesn't make them a celebrity chef.

Anybody can learn an instrument. Doesn't make them a musician.

DJs don't create. They play other people's creations.

They have an ear for what moves a crowd. It is a skill for sure - but you'd be naive to think that the most skilled DJ rose to the top.

The fact that you see the ability to play other people's music pleasingly as a talent says more about "generation fuck all" than anything

[DroppingPlates]

all that money and still small

Yes, that's a damn shame!
He could hire a hot nurse to inject him with the finest pharmaceuticals, a sous chef for his 8 quality meals per day, Ronaldo Colemanesq to train him like an animal and the finest Thai hoes for deep tissue massages and countless happy endings.

wat

learning an instrument absolutley makes one a musician. Doesnt make one a GOOD musician, but learning to play an instrument actually requires one to learn music, theory, technique, timing, etc, etc... having grown up playing music and around recording studios, learning to plqy an instrument (even other peoples music) requires one to learn a tremendous amount of material, and dedication.

You can sit down and cut and splice music on a PC instantly, with no knowledge of music other than your ear. Trust me, ive seen it done. A lot. One of our friends decided to be a DJ because he couldn't lear n an instrument and couldn't learn theory.

DJs are more computer software guys that listen to music than they are musicians.
its definitley a skill, but please dont compare it to actually learning how to play an instrument and create music from scratch.
