An important meeting point for me was realizing the similarity between a DJ set and a Grateful Dead set: I grew up listening to how the Dead would take a song and just jam on it, and then transition into another song.

I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

I definitely don't want to play by myself. I don't relate to playing music that way. I like interacting with people.

I always thought it was important for my lyrics to come from a really honest place.

There's something scary about the unknown. And maybe the scariest movies couldn't ever be made because they are too deep in somebody's head, too unknown to get out.

I love electronic music as much as I love something that sounds like 'Pullhair Rubeye,' or something a little bit more organic than that.

In a lot of African music, the singers are just singing whatever they feel at the time - because the instrumentation is repetitive, they can come and go as they please. That's how we approach it. Not verse-chorus-verse.
