• Tradicionalmente, con un DJ set, simplemente ibas a escuchar a un DJ que tuviera buena reputación y dejabas que te llevara a algún sitio. El DJ decidía qué quería pinchar. Normalmente, en la música de baile, la gente no conocía la mayoría de las canciones que pinchaba un DJ.

• Ahora puedo pinchar en el escenario principal mis propios temas y al público le gustan. Creo que muchos de los otros DJs pinchan muchas de las mismas canciones, y no es por criticarles, pero para mí es importante subir ahí y colar un montón de cosas que los demás no pinchan.

• Hay productores que son amigos míos desde hace muchos años y de los que sigo siendo un gran fan, desde Boyz Noize hasta solistas. Justice. Realmente varía. A veces encuentro a un tipo de Chicago que hace una gran canción house. Me gusta mucho el deep house, Jamie Jones.

• When I started Fool's Gold and producing consistent records that were like electro beats with rapping on it that was experimental and weird. I made a mixtape called Dirty South Dance where I put rap vocals over dance music. That was literally an experiment. Now all these rappers are rapping on dance music. This is something I've been trying to build for a while.
