There are a lot of music startups that don't have anything to do with anyone's love for music. It has to do with them having a glorious IPO and then retiring to the Bahamas somewhere. It's important to keep that in mind.

Anything that sparks some eight-year-old's interest in music or DJing is great.

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

I've always been compared to people. It's a revolving cast that comes and goes - obviously, sometimes people stay.

I don't care if I get kicked out of every rich kid club on the planet. I will never sacrifice my integrity as a DJ...ever.

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

I always consider every album to be a snapshot.
