Forbes just released its annual Electronic Cash Kings list ranking the highest paid DJs of the year. Topping the 2016 list was - to no big surprise - Calvin Harris.

Landing near the top as the second highest paid DJ in the world is Dutch veteran Tiësto with $38 million, followed by French DJ David Guetta with $28 million. Zedd came in at number four ahead of Steve Aoki with $24.5 million while Diplo came right in front of Skrillex with $23 million.

On receiving the award, Martin Garrix said, “It feels unreal to have won. I 100 percent did not expect it at all. I’ve had an amazing year, with awesome shows and amazing fans — I’m so thankful for their support. It just shows how dope the fan-base is.” This year, votes in the Top 100 DJs Poll exceeded one mi...
In a distant, but not so unrealistic, future where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E rescues EVE from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive", EVE takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but, true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive.
