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

I always like to make people happy, make them have a good time. It's pretty obvious if the room is dead - if no one is cheering or singing or whatever, there's obviously something wrong. I always try to look for euphoric feelings, things people are excited that they're hearing, and then I build from there. It's hard to explain, actually. When I'm in the mood, I just feel it. Now they need something with vocals, now they need something hard, something soft.

If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself it makes the sound more special.

I like 'Elle' magazine. I love things online, like when all the big brands have a fashion show, I like to see the new collections.

I listen to all kinds of music, but I really like deep house.

A 'Magik' session is a journey through different stages of emotions and the 'Search for Sunrise' is more chilling music for when you come home after a party or when you are just about to go to one.

I heard 'Get Lucky'; it's just not my taste. It's great what Daft Punk does and the sound quality is great, but that whole disco vibe is not really my thing.
