It's funny, I played a social gig once - we were playing music that was rhythm based, but it was going in some strange places. Some people came up to me afterward and said, "Can you play a tune that we'll all recognize?" I've carried that with me forever - why would you want a tune you could recognize? What's the point of that?

I like the fact that everyone is nostalgic for vinyl, and I'm being nostalgic for CDs, which are like the new outdated things that no one is going to mourn the loss of - everyone's already written them off.

You're trying to make music, and then at the end of it you give reasons for everything.

I find it really disappointing and cheap when someone's copied the whole drum sound from a record.

To stop for years and then discover that the audience is getting smaller and smaller would be demoralizing.

There is no decision to be more or less comic. I don't feel more or less humorous in my day-to-day. These things are accidental.

I think being a DJ is that thing of learning what makes a crowd move. As a DJ, you're constantly learning. It's like chess or something. After a couple of years, you think you're good, then you see a real DJ that's been doing it for 20 years and they just blow you away. I think that's one of the things I like about DJing: you can get better and better and better.
