I typically get around to most major cities at least once a year. I think people see that as their chance to go nuts for the year if they're into the style of music.

I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.

I think some people form the traditional DJ worlds misunderstand where I'm coming form.

The goal for me is, I build the record that I put out as one individual song. Even though it's broken up into tracks, to me it's like one hour-long piece of music. In assembling the whole thing, I'm really thinking, okay, it's gonna end here, it's gonna start here, and I kind of have the idea of the journey.

I've always enjoyed taking pre-existing sound, songs I like, songs I want to share, and manipulating them and trying to do my own version. So just knowing there's that potential for that thing out there that I haven't discovered yet, really gets me motivated every day.

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.
