I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.

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.

I guess in a way I try to avoid being labeled as a traditional DJ.

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

To get 300 songs to fit together on an album, it's not like I choose 300 songs and say these are the ones I wanted to pick. To get those 300 songs I sampled 1000's of songs and narrowed down the ones I felt worked the best musically.

I guess people naturally try to find meaning in music.

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