That's the main thing. People have to feel it's real. If they feel there's something commercial or some fake thing behind it, then the feeling is definitely different.

In nightlife you can become a star, while in the daytime you can just be a nobody.

If you just take the time to look, then yeah, you will find some really great music in Holland. Just scratch the surface and look underneath the corporate surface.

There are so many international musical connections here, in Amsterdam. And some of them are amazingly successful.

My policy has always been to play new music. New beat, industrial, techno, disco, funk, rare groove and house music.

The way Electronic Dance Music [EDM] is manipulated and exported to the world is a very strong, and "total" concept. But it's not that interesting artistically. EDM is seen by some media as a kickstarter for kids who have no idea how deep dance music can go.

I like to move. Because that's where the action comes from.
