Sigur Ros make beautiful music. Bloc Party are fantastic and exciting and innovative.

Vinyl is so outdated nowadays. I can make a track in my hotel room today, and play it for the crowd tomorrow. That never happens with vinyl. I played a lot of acetates at the end of my vinyl period - I used to make tracks and get them pressed in four or five days - but the quality was always so bad and they would skip all the time. The vinyl days for me are over. I still buy vinyl, but only albums, and just to play. For DJing, vinyl is a nightmare.

I got involved in 2003, 2004, with a company called Dance4Life out of Holland.

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.

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

I love to produce a track and then play it for the crowd; that's the biggest kick for me!

I like a challenge. I need to feel passionate about something. If I'm not passionate about it, I can't stand it. It has to feel real. DJ'ing, touring, charity work - anything.
