Fuck that I have more faith in a burnt CD than the external hard drive pieces of shit for backing up

The two companies will work together to create a new standard for an optical disc capable of recording at least 300GB of information, Panasonic announced on Monday. The goal is to unveil the actual technology before the end of 2015. The new disc format will be targeted toward professional users, specifically businesses that need to archive huge amounts of data for long-term storage. Pointing to one potential customer, Sony cited the video production industry, including motion picture houses and broadcasters. But cloud-based datacentres could also tap into the high-capacity discs to retain vast amounts of data. "Optical discs have excellent properties to protect them against the environment, such as dust resistance and water resistance, and can also withstand changes in temperature and humidity when stored," Panasonic said in a press release. "They also allow inter-generational compatibility between different formats, ensuring that data can continue to be read even as formats evolve. This makes them a robust medium for long-term storage of content." In comparison, today's Blu-ray discs can store 25GB on a single layer and 50GB on a dual layer. Source: cnet.com

Tonight I am rolling out a Thanks system for ADJF. On the bottom right (where you can report posts etc) you'll see a thumbs up. Click it and you'll thank the user for their post. Unclick it to remove your thanks. This will only be in DJ relevant sections of the forum (ie. not in offtopic inb4 whinging cunts). I'll be working on a few code fixes etc during the night and tomorrow, but for now you should see it slowly rolling out in most sections. ps. Thank me for this post or I'll cut you.

Adding some back-end coding and a few modifications that you will all be pleased with. Just have patience while I'm fucking around and stuff looks weird.

We've now upgraded the Tapatalk back-end in line with the latest release.

Is this your service?

Calvin Harris named one of Forbes ‘Top-Earning Celebrities Under 30′ Speculations around how much money DJs make aren’t uncommon, but they are often misleading. While Forbes dance music related coverage hasn’t always been accurate, their financial figures are more trustworthy. In one of their many celebrity lists the magazine has revealed Calvin Harris as their fourth top-earning celebrity under 30 with a cool $46 million. Harris is in good company, coming in just after three of the biggest household music names in the world: Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift. This number could also serve as a barometer for guesstimating the annual incomes of other big names in the dance music industry.

Forbes lists World’s Highest Paid DJs, Tiesto’s $22 million snags top spot A few weeks ago, a list of the world’s richest DJs started making the rounds on Twitter and Facebook. We were skeptical to say the least, given the lack of supporting information or any kind of reputable source. Now, however, Forbes has weighed in with their very own list of the World’s Highest Paid DJs, and we finally feel comfortable sharing this information with you. Unsurprisingly, the one and only Tiesto, tops the list, and Forbes says that he has earnings of $22 million, “buoyed by an average nightly gross of $250,000.” Considering the insane number of partnerships and non-DJ ventures he has, this one was obvious. Skrillex takes number #2 with $15 million in earnings, followed by Swedish House Mafia at $14 million and David Guetta with $13.5 million. Surprisingly enough, the last member of the top five is Steve Aoki, who reportedly earned around $12 million (but also played over 200 shows in the last year). Forbes discusses the lack of any real production costs for most DJs out there today, and they believe that DJs can often take home more than $100,000 on a given night. Tiesto largely credits social media for the advance of EDM: “It exposed things to a whole new world. Before that you could only hear [electronic dance music] on the radio at night.” On the business side of things, executives recognize the advantages of adding a DJ to a lineup and opening up events to new demographics. “The Coachella music festival served as a microcosm in the evolution of electronic dance music from a niche into a mainstream format,” said Randy Phillips, chief of AEG Live (whose subsidiary GoldenVoice produces the Indio-based event). In that vein, he was also quick to slam arena tours, saying that they have “proven to yield uneven results outside of a handful of major markets.” The analysis is fascinating, especially as the dance music industry continues to see more and more consolidation. LiveNation recently acquired HARD Events and purchased Cream Holdings out of Europe. Robert Sillerman, the former chief of SFX Entertainment (the company which has now become LiveNation), is now out to recreate what he did the first time around by spending $1 billion to scoop up smaller promoters around the globe. Just today it was announced that he bought Dayglow, his second major acquisition after purchasing Disco Donnie Presents. Many more are expected. While we’re unsure of the immediate and longer-term effects of these developments, we can tell you that it means even more attention and commentary on a scene that not long ago was largely still considered to be “underground.” One thing is for sure: dance music has gone mainstream, but its growth needs to be carefully planned and executed if it’s going to last.

Keep an eye out for the staff section showing up for you now. I'll get in there and add you to it.

With the launch of DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 voting, DJs and their agencies jumped up in an effort to get as much votes as possible. It’s still the most visible DJ popularity list out in EDM culture, but the competition is creeping on them with numerous online and print media starting to gain relevance. As most of the famous top 100, UMEK had also invested into campaigns for building his profile on such polls in the past. But this year he decided for a more open approach and publicly shared his opinion about DJ Mag’s and similar popularity contests and their influence on a DJs career: Everyone acts as a rebel, stating that they don’t care about their rankings, but in the end all of us eagerly anticipate the event on ADE, where they announce the results. The rank doesn’t really influence my number of gigs, nor the price I can charge for my performance, but it still feels nice to see my name among the great 100. It’s an ego trip and everyone likes that, whether you are honest about it or not. Artists who rank on the very top, keep their mouths shut, because they are happy with the results, while I noticed most of the ranting from DJs who end on the bottom or are not on it at all. My guys shared those thoughts on social media and forums to test the response from the fans. It was mainly negative, so I’m really wondering how the contest still gets so much attention every year. UMEK admits that his management takes good care that he’s constantly present on various DJ lists such as TopDeejays or The DJ list and support his nominations for DJ awards (he won Beatport’s Artist of the year award twice). The dance music business is far from being underground, although a lot of artists still want to be too cool for school and like to take themselves a bit more avantguard as they really are by giving the image they ignore the public recognition they get on popularity contests. It seems that dance music is irresistibly approaching red carpets, little golden statues and glitter of a mainstream entertainment business, whether fans and DJs like it or not. But in the end, something has to pay for those private jets, entourage and chilled Cristal. Source: magneticmag
