When I would play pop music at underground shows, it was offensive to some people. I wasn't doing it to piss people off: I just didn't believe in those strong divisions that you're supposed to listen to this or that.

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.

Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.

Fair use is a part of United States copyright law. You don't know if it falls under fair use until you go to court. Someone has to sue you and then you have to challenge it.

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.

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

When I'm performing, this is what everything builds up to, and everything has allowed me to be here.
