One thing that I learned in recent years from working more with other people is this idea that part of a producer's job is to make people comfortable and confident.

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.

I'm one of the few DJs who uses turntables. I'm the only DJ that's scratching.

I think one of the biggest things that's changed in terms of the rapport with the crowd is that now crowds come to hear our songs. We're getting closer and closer to an artist performance.

I'm not even a trained producer. I just keep following my ear and working on stuff until it sounds the way I like it.

What's amazing about a DJ set is when you're able to re-appropriate a song or give purpose to a song that people didn't really think it was supposed to have. Give it this sort of hidden power by playing it before this song and after that one. That it fits into this logic and it goes farther than you thought it could go.
