I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

I can't edit live as meticulously as I can for an album.

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

The primary goal isn't a financial gain; it's to put out interesting music.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.
