The goal of the work is always for it to come across as original material, as transformative material.

It's rare when I feel like I can extract a lyrical message out of combining two things together.

A lot of artists are used to their music being reused online and have come to accept and embrace it. You have a generation who go on YouTube and remake and remix music online all the time. They remake and upload songs and videos, and then other people remake the remakes; it just keeps going.

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

I want the material I make to be mine; that's always the goal of the record and of the show.

I think a lot of times people from the traditional DJing world think I'm trying to come up with an ultimate dance mix. That's not really what I'm doing. I'm trying to make something a little bit progressive and challenging.

I guess people naturally try to find meaning in music.
