Music is a conversation between people and their community, you know, people and - and deejaying, it is a way of amplifying that conversation and kind of putting that conversation on blast in a way. But at a very basic level, it's records talking to records.

So much of what deejays like myself do is, I'm very interested in - I'm constantly looking for new music, constantly digging, but then also I am thinking about how to present it in a way that kind of makes sense to people who are less - sort of less with their hands in it than I am.

I have got to look at the flip side of things, because, in a way, music is always a conversation, you know? It's a conversation between the musician and their tools and their technologies.

I'm looking for the surprises, you know, and the unexpected moments of technology, the unexpected moments of musical creation.

I do think of myself as a taste-maker, yes, absolutely.

Every time I'm in a foreign place and a different city, I'm always asking around to say, OK, well, what's special here in this particular place? What makes these people move here and why?

If there's anything I have learned, it's to sort of be sensitive to what - to how much - to how creative the act of listening is and to how powerful the act of listening is.
