I think that's becoming the key to where the whole idea of art and culture are going nowadays anyway, is the idea of curation. Knowing what you like. That's sort of the future right now. Molding something, whether it be a roster on a label, or your blog, or a song, or your DJ set.

There's a bit less elbow room and latitude to take it somewhere else, at least at festivals. In the club you can do whatever you want but at festivals, especially Ultra, nowadays the crowd wants to hear our songs.

I love disco and we sample it a lot for Duck Sauce. For me, that sound is kind of a new manifestation.

Right now it feels like we're playing a role, like me and a couple of my friends, in where popular culture is going. That's a very rare thing in a person's life to be able to be a part of that. It's a responsibility I take seriously.

It's a good feeling to have something to stand for in any part of your life. It's like personal integrity.

There's a ton of amazing music that's not getting heard.

I think whether dance music had exploded in America, I still would've been a DJ a long time. This is my first love.
