When I started out, I was Avici with one i. But on MySpace, that name was taken.

I don't really look at the charts at all. If anything, I try to out-do what I've done before. I try to make music that I like and I trust my own judgement with what will work with a wider audience. If you compare yourself to the charts, you lose perspective on what you're doing and why you're doing it.

I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and perform to a pre-mixed CD; I would never cheat my fans like that.

I love DJing, I do. I love everything that comes with it; it's fun and it's kind of glamorous.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.

A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that Ive practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and its something I take pride in being able to do.
