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

I like getting feedback from people who show a lot of potential, and it's exciting to witness to new talents developing and bourgeoning. I always try to stay around the newest stuff, I don't like to stay with something that's kind of old or approaching it.

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.

At the end of the day, Fool's Gold is a label that, when I hear something I like, I try to grab it for the label. There's a ton of great music coming out.

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

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