“There’s a ton of amazing music that’s not getting heard.”

A few guys will get up there with turntables as purists, to play vinyl or whatever.

I’m not even a trained producer. I just keep following my ear and working on stuff until it sounds the way I like it.

At festivals you kind of have to play the game a bit and you have to play a lot of the big bangers but it’s to me it’s extra gratifying to be able to play the non-bangers and make it work. Because that’s still the craft of the DJ, I think.

I have a radio show on Sirius XM. I put it up as a free download on my Soundcloud and on iTunes. That’s a portal for me once a month, to play songs I know aren’t getting played on that station the rest of the week.

We have to wake up early and make songs everyday. I run my record label. You work at hours where your body isn’t designed to work. But it’s fun.

I’m still a hip-hop producer. I never put a label on what I can do as a producer or a DJ.

I’ve been doing it since I was prepubescent when I loved to scratch records and play good music. As it happens, you know I sort of fell into the mix. I really feel like I played a role in bringing dance music to America years ago.

Building the scene, going out and doing shows and connecting with the fans, cultivating the fanbase in all these cities. I’m very glad that it’s happening.

At the end of the day, Fool’s Gold is a label that, when I hear something I like, I try to grab it for the label. There’s a ton of great music coming out.

My ears are open to all sorts of stuff. I appreciate some of the big electro house guys.I love their music but I also like a lot of the stuff coming out of the U.K. Future garage stuff. A lot of stuff like that.

There’s a lot of producers that are much more technical or gear-skilled than I am. But I have a pure idea of what I like and where I want to go and I follow that.

I was a bit of an outsider in the hip-hop world because I was a scratch kid and people weren’t necessarily trying to hear that all the time.

I think one of the biggest things that’s changed in terms of the rapport with the crowd is that now crowds come to hear our songs. We’re getting closer and closer to an artist performance.

I’m one of the few DJs who uses turntables. I’m the only DJ that’s scratching.

Right now it feels like we’re playing a role, like me and a couple of my friends, in where popular culture is going. That’s a very rare thing in a person’s life to be able to be a part of that. It’s a responsibility I take seriously.

I think whether dance music had exploded in America, I still would’ve been a DJ a long time. This is my first love.

You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.

Whittle was an amazing chap. Tiny, stubborn, unstoppable – jet-propelled! It’s amazing the impact his invention has had upon the world.

It was an amazing win and testament to the character of the team. From the position we were in it must be one of the greatest comebacks.

The future will be like the past, in the sense that, no matter how amazing or technologically advanced a society becomes

He’s unreal. He’s amazing in the ring. It doesn’t matter who he’s wresting. He’s unreal on the microphone.

It’s amazing what can happen if you just put your arm around somebody. It’s the truest thing and the simplest thing that does the most good a lot of times and I hope that we can all just reach out to each other.

When we’re feeling fully alive, we’re able to fully feel love. This doorway also relates to feeling our feelings fully. Not suppressing our feelings of anger, sadness or grief but allowing them to be felt. What’s amazing is that when those feelings are felt, they actually dissolve into love.

I think in the case of horror, it’s a chance to confront a lot of your worse fears and those fears usually have to do, ironically, with powerlessness and isolation.
