A DJ can't just play one song. It's about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

I've been DJing a little bit, so you get used to the fact that music sounds brilliant when it's loud.

I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.

I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I'm going to have.

I spend a lot of time on my music.

It's of course important to mention that when DJing, I'm building my own story through the music. I'm figuring out what song to play next, what song to play after that, and how the two will blend together. How the emotion is going to develop from one song to another. So I first build that storyline.

I prefer to unwind by DJing. I learned that from Mike D from the Beastie Boys. After a show, he would DJ. Once I saw that, I wanted to do that. And now DJing is like my lifeline. I love the power it represents.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

Every day, you have to make three hours of music, just randomly improvising, and that's a great way to weed stuff out.
