Not really my taste and nor is his music (he is French, and slightly older than me so grew up in the heyday of Euro-pop cheese which explains a lot) you can buy a great deal of that tat from CPC Farnell these days (alongside some reasonable equipment to be fair). Its not even that expensive!

This (and the less pleasant practice of co-workers those DJ’s are supposed to be able to trust leaking what is confidential information to the tabloid media) has only recently occured because some states of the USA are tolerating EDM events a lot more as the folk putting them on are willing to stump up the cash that the authorities ask for, and there isn’t really as much of a public sector in the USA as in Europe.

At present these more liberal areas of the USA is remain affluent enough to pay for these folk to come over from Europe at the same time that European nations are clamping down on large EDM events – and as DJ’s are used to foreign travel its not surprising many of the ones my age group try and get this sort of things, especially as most of them are smart enough to realise that this sort of “pop star lifestyle” won’t last forever. I notice a lot of the trance chaps just concentrate on the sound equipment at the venue..
