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

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.

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.

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.

I am always excited for gaps of time where I can actually hang out with my friends.

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.

I feel like all the artists that I really love, they've had a strong contingent of people who really hate their work as well.
