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.

One of my favorite things that Yahoo does on a regular basis is this story: "Wealthiest Rap Artists." That's an example of the internet just perpetuating this myth that we're all just sitting around in these mansions like Steven Tyler, bopping around in our swimming pool. It's bullshit.

Another one of my favourite sayings is, you can't handpick your audience. I feel like I'm making music for people who think like me about music, and that takes a lot of different forms. I could never generalise - but I think if I were to generalise, I'd think that you would say that most of my fans are music lovers who are looking for something outside of the mainstream: maybe a little bit hard to pin down, a little bit hard to categorise.

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

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.

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

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