I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.

I love L.A., but I don't live there. I spent some time there when I was recording 'Kaleidoscope,' mainly working with some of the artists I collaborated with. The city and people in L.A. have a great vibe and the weather is always beautiful.

I think I am example for our scene, so I have to be an example for the rest.

They say learning to love yourself, Is the first step, That you take when you want to be real...

I've always wanted to be a DJ so I could play the music I love for other people. That feeling hasn't changed, but my sets are always evolving. In terms of tailoring to a specific crowd, certainly I do play differently depending on the situation. It's a different feel, for example, in a small club versus a festival.

At the end of the '90s and into 2000, electronic music was still an underground phenomenon, especially in America.

Most people went to dance shows, but it was basically a table and a DJ playing and not really a spectacular thing. I brought the whole production with the effects - the best sound, the best lighting to blow the fans away.
