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

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 listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

When you're playing for 30 people and you're jumping around stage, screaming, getting in peoples faces and acting cocky you're kind of poking fun at yourself.

I am ultimately comfortable with what I'm sampling.

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.

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