When I'm looking for DJ sets and stuff to drop, I look for music that I feel is gonna get the reaction I want from the crowd.

If you think of any long-term artist that makes music throughout several decades, you would hope that it's autobiographical and a form of self-expression, and that's certainly how I approach my music.

I'm not going to get on any anti-corporation soapbox to an extreme level.

I think a band - even a band that's been around as long as the Rolling Stones - I think that's still the formula. You know you're gonna get those songs, and you don't mind sitting through the ones that you maybe don't know very well because you know they're not gonna let you down - they're not gonna mess with you. And I kind of feel the same way about the way I structure my shows.

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

I tend to gravitate away from the more trendy Ibiza style of dance music. It's not me.

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