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 think that is a great, great thing, to create your own identity and foster a true family spirit.

Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.

Fun is the main thing. Because fun helps you transmit your message. You can only do that - transmit - when people are receptive.

People are receptive in the best way when they are together enjoying themselves in a club; with others who are on the same wavelength. Then the experience becomes a very creative and spiritual thing.

The Dutch have a can-do mentality, anything is possible. As long as you pay for it. It is very capitalist. Quite American in a way.

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