I think collaborating with a DJ could be interesting musically and it's something that I'd like to get into down the road, but I think on the live show tip I'm sticking to my guns for right now.

A lot of times people have issues with me because they don't understand where I'm coming from and haven't seen the years and years of hard work and shows I've played.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, "It's the end of music." "This guy is a total hack." I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

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

Anytime there is any lyrical meaning or combination in my mixes, it's very blatant. I'm not trying to make any statement or anything like that.

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

I think there's always room to grow.
