I've always feel like it's been my place to offer an alternative.

I still consider myself a consumer of music more than anything else.

I would agree with you that there's 90% imitation and 10% innovation. That's true of any genre.

Any good album title has multiple meanings, and I like choosing titles where I find myself repeating it, almost like a mantra.

I remember when the big shift happened in 1996-97, when suddenly it dawned on the music community: 'We should license our music to commercials and sell out for all intents and purposes. It doesn't really matter.'

I couldn't make a real drum'n'bass or dubstep record to save my life. But I can be influenced by them in small ways.

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.
