DJ Tiesto was my first inspiration. I heard him play at the Olympics in 2004 and from that moment on I knew I wanted to make music and become a DJ. I made a bootleg of a track by Enrique Iglesias called Tonight.

If I have an idea in my head, within no time it's into the computer, it may take more time to make it sound right, but that's the only issue.

America is new to instrumental dance tracks on the radio, we were all so surprised "Animals" did so well on the radio.

I can sleep ANYWHERE! I just love to sleep.

It's a weird sound [ "Animals"] inspired by a hip hop drum loop. I listen to a lot of hip hop tracks and it's not used quite often in House currently. I chopped up the loop and edited it so you wouldn't recognize the original.

In Europe, it's more common to hear aggressive dance tracks on the radio.

I like working together with different producers. Of course the process is different, producing a new track is like creating something all new, while reworking an already existing track is more like giving your own twist to the record.
