Giles Peterson was a big name DJ in the UK/Europe prior to the internet having any weight. I don't even live in the UK and I have seen him three times. He is not a good example of some internet generated niche artist/DJ. He has always made his money in the real world from the start from holding down club residences, selling actual records and headlining big (and mainstream) festivals around the world.

same thing goes for alot of these UK acts. just because we hear about them through the internet does not mean they have not been grinding it out on the local scene.
