I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

I'll put out an album, and people review it, and some people love it, and some people tear it apart. By nature of the project, I've always wanted this to be something where people react strongly to it.

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

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.

That's something I've always been down with: creative commons and people being able to license their music and allow other people to reuse it and recycle it.

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.

The goal for me is, I build the record that I put out as one individual song. Even though it's broken up into tracks, to me it's like one hour-long piece of music. In assembling the whole thing, I'm really thinking, okay, it's gonna end here, it's gonna start here, and I kind of have the idea of the journey.
