rooms emptiness fooled
Don't be fooled by your emptiness, there's so much more room for happiness.
rap thinking made
I think rap music has made more money on dance music than dance music has made on dance music. Just a thought.
media law dinosaurs
Copyright law is a dinosaur, ill-suited for the landscape of today's media.
sky forever together
You and I could paint the sky together. As the world goes by, we'll go on forever.
kids intelligent edm
But know this: as far as a music culture goes, EDM is the one who will accept the kids on the outliers, the ones who get bullied, the ones who feel like they may not quite fit in. This community is exceptional in its ability to bond all types together, and I am not exaggerating when I say it saves lives. Our audience is intelligent and kind, discriminating only in regards to which sound they like best. Our audience is unprecedented in their drive to proactively support each other.
aggressive broad stuff
If you listen to a Deadmau5 record or a Skrillex record, I really enjoy that stuff because, as aggressive sounding as the Skrillex records are, they're still musical, and that's why they have such a broad appeal.
album close emphasize fact instead inwards people reaching songs written
For me, 'Atmosphere' was more about looking inwards and reaching out to people close to me. To emphasize the fact that I'm singing on the first single, this album is really more about me and songs that I've written instead of collaborating with people.
best good guy life man
When you go see a good DJ, you'll know it, man - you'll know it in your bones. Between the guy who's phoning it in and the guy who's obsessively working it to give you the best show of his life.
art becoming definitely direction music sharing taking technology
The art of DJing is sharing music with one another... The technology's definitely taking it into a new direction to where it's really becoming performance-based.
country grew honestly leaves music records
Music leaves such a big impression. I always wondered, 'Man, if I grew up in Nashville, would I be making Country records now?' I honestly feel like Chicago had such a big impact on me.
book guys laptop last moving people per pull sets songs sure thousands time vinyl
People book me because of the songs I write, not because of the sets that I play, per se... I'm sure I'm going to be moving to a laptop really soon, but I was one of the last guys to let the vinyl go. I was crying. In my room, I still have thousands of records. I still pull them out and play them all the time.
