A few guys will get up there with turntables as purists, to play vinyl or whatever.

There are things I like, there are things I strongly dislike. In my DJ sets and in my production I just gravitate towards what I like.

I'm still a hip-hop producer. I never put a label on what I can do as a producer or a DJ.

I worked with him for years. I still think Kanye [West] is one of the most important people in music in the last ten years.

Now I'm able to play on the main stage and play my own tracks and the crowd likes them. I feel like a lot the other DJs play a lot of the same songs, and not to knock them, but it's important to me to go up there and sort of sneak in a bunch of stuff the other guys aren't playing.

At festivals you kind of have to play the game a bit and you have to play a lot of the big bangers but it's to me it's extra gratifying to be able to play the non-bangers and make it work. Because that's still the craft of the DJ, I think.
