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.

When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

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

I do have some weeks coming up in the summer where I will actually be in my house, and I love working on new music and all of that.

I want to make new and interesting music out of pop music in a way that isn't ironic. I want to stay sincere to the source material but at the same time manipulate it and take it to a new world.

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.
