Yeah, the meaning of a DJ has changed in the US. It's still means something overseas where all the money for dance is anyway.

Let me add that in Dance music, the money is on the DJ side not in the production. If you have a hot record and you are still a DJ you get the $20k plus a night.

If you are just a producer you only get the international licensing fees which average about $2,500 per major territory. Some remix work comes but the money for dance remixes has dropped dramatically since 2000.

$20k plus a night or scraps per territory. That's a huge difference.

Bottom line: Do production, but don't stop being a DJ unless you plan on doing pop or hip hop production where the money is in the producer's favor.
