Traditionally, with a DJ set, you just go hear DJ that has a good reputation and let the DJ take you somewhere. It was up to the DJ what he wanted to play. Typically in dance music, people didn't know most of the songs a DJ played.

When I get up I still check the rap blogs before I check any kind of dance stuff.

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

I have a radio show on Sirius XM. I put it up as a free download on my Soundcloud and on iTunes. That's a portal for me once a month, to play songs I know aren't getting played on that station the rest of the week.

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

The essential component of being a DJ is setting the mood; it's playing to the context. So that if you're not able to adapt from one context to another, then you're not a DJ.

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