Back when djing was widely known as one of the founding elements in hip-hop and what was distinctly part of hip-hop culture, has now largely crossed over to other genres over the years, and the world of electronic music or EDM being one of them. DJ's have come along way from being in the background supporting rappers and artists on stage, or just being a curator of music at parties and clubs, to now taking front and center in becoming the new rockstars of this day and age. It's been said that popular dj's can make up to $100,000 for only one nights worth of work. And just last year they released a list of the richest electronic djs across the world, and yet again that time has come when we get to know whose racking in all the big money (where the lowest starts with at least 6 figures).
