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.

I always managed to fly a bit below the radar, but high enough to avoid colliding into anything.

I have a natural fear of anything that feels like celebrating my own past to an extent that doesn't allow me to continue to look forward. I don't know psychologically why it is, but I get a little uncomfortable with nostalgia.

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

The conventional wisdom of fandom is that you must give your fans anything they want. But I've never felt that that's a healthy attitude - and that comes from being a Star Wars fan.

I just felt, at the time, a little bit relieved, because I was kinda counting the days: 'Come on! Let's get these records into people's homes - nobody will ever be able to get them all back, and it'll be an artefact out in the world.'

To be honest, I didn't really get into making music to be an album artist.
