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

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.

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

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.

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.

I was only interested in music, but I spent so much time in the clubs and seeing fashions change. So naturally, I developed an interest in it.
