I think the impact my music has had on dance music fans is to bring out their inner love for dancing and having a good time.

To me, new friends, new genres, new person-to person chemistry is the DNA of EDM.

As a DJ, I'm really focused on the crowd. I never play the same set. I always look at the crowd, try to read what they want, and always look at the signs, point at people.

Too many DJs today want to be the headline act without ever knowing what it takes to be the local DJ who's busting his or her gut to perfect their craft.

That's one of the most powerful things in dance music - the DJs are so connected and help each other.

Yeah, before DJing, judo was my passion. I've always loved it but DJing and producing took over my life and finding time to fit it in was hard once the touring started.
