Chuckie's advice to producers: "Stick to your own beliefs and ideals instead of doing what you think is popular and expected of you"

/

Chuckie offers some good advice at how to make it in the electronic dance music world as a producer:

"...Stick to your own beliefs and ideals instead of doing what you think is popular and expected of you. Stay patient and work towards becoming a more rounded artist, instead of looking to become as big as possible as soon as possible..."

"...The whole industry is like a huge web, with everyone interconnected. The more you tour, the more promoters you meet. And the more records you release, the more label managers you meet. The web just keeps on growing year by year..."

Armin Van Buuren DJ setup + interview

Armin shows the world how he can DJ live with proper video syncing:

​If you go around the world and make crazy money with pre-programmed sets then you're doing it wrong and eventually we will all find out. If you are to convince me to go out to your show then I fully expect to see live DJ'ing with a point of view that I won't get anywhere else. Is that too much to ask? I hope not.

And here's a GREAT interview from the man himself talking about his passion for the craft while giving out advice to the next generation of DJs:
