Now deejays associated with the rave scene--like Van Dyk, Armand Van Helden, Keoki and BT--are artists, celebrities, superstars. "If Stravinsky were alive today, this is the kind of music he'd make," says BT, who composed music for the rave movie Go (1999) as well as the PlayStation game Die Hard Trilogy.
