I wanted to capture the excitement of house music, almost like a four-four beat, and the best way to do that was to use a language that was rhythmic and performative.

I think my music covers a broader sound than just 'Tropical House'... My goal is to simply be a great producer in my own right without being pigeonholed.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

I'm not going to say I'm not a fan, but I'm a fan of house music, essentially, and kind of indie, and I was always into the kind of sub-pop Seattle Mud Honey and Pearl Jam kind of sound. But my kind of big love was house music ever since I was 15/16, going to raves when I was 15 or 16 years old and not going to school, like a naughty boy.

House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it's not good at all.

Music is organized sound.

I love house music. I love all music.

To me, there's two kinds of music these days. There's ephemeral music, and there's music that has lasting power and depth.

I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
