So, in addition to being a full-time father of two and everything else in life, it isn't so much that I'm sitting around plotting an album. I just kinda follow my muse and wherever my interests lie, and at some point I decide, "Right. It's been a while, time to figure out how to get serious and make some music."

If I have a chance to positively impact how the populace views DJs, then I'm going to try to do my part to nudge things in the right direction.

Through it all, the words of John Peel echo strongly within me: you have support the music that's being made now. You have to continue to look forward and learn from what's happening. That's my philosophy, anyway.

I've tried to tell people that the reason I don't really get excited over good press is that I don't want to get agitated over bad press. I don't wanna get too high on good press, too low on bad press. It's just not a healthy way to engage with my own feelings about my music.

My core values are still the same about music, and my work ethic, and what I want to represent to people.

My problem with iTunes is that I don't have any say in how I'm represented on the site.

I always consider every album to be a snapshot.
