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.

There's a lot of producers that are much more technical or gear-skilled than I am. But I have a pure idea of what I like and where I want to go and I follow that.

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

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.

Building the scene, going out and doing shows and connecting with the fans, cultivating the fanbase in all these cities. I'm very glad that it's happening.

My ears are open to all sorts of stuff. I appreciate some of the big electro house guys.I love their music but I also like a lot of the stuff coming out of the U.K. Future garage stuff. A lot of stuff like that.
