The DJs with a lot of hype are not necessarily the best DJs at creating a vibe.
Erick Morillo
I love what I do, and if I'm playing for people who love what I'm doing, I don't really care, I'll keep playing till the cows come home.
Louie Vega was a huge influence on me.
I've always been about the party and about the vibe. When I connect, I don't care if there are two people in front of me or 70,000. If they're going crazy, I'm going crazy.
This year, I had some downtime before my Australia tour and spent a week or so in Phuket, Thailand. As a confessed workaholic, sometimes it's good to unplug and detach and honestly, the scenery, the weather and the people truly made this an incredible place for me to recharge.
Master your craft, be nice and stay humble.
I feel that in the underground world, there's not enough vocals out there.
I love coming out to Australia, if it weren't so far away I would go all the time. I've worked with a lot of people down there so I love Australia, I have a lot of great relationships down there... it's such a great vibe.
My whole goal in this industry nowadays is to keep doing the underground stuff, but to be able to add vocals that are sexy and underground.
Major labels don't want to take chances on cooler, indie kind of things. People only know, unfortunately, what they're being spoon-fed.
Wherever it is, as long as I have a room full of people ready to have a good time, I will take them there and I will keep them up late.
Lenny Kravitz is someone I wanna work with. But Prince for sure. He's someone I've loved ever since I was in High School.
When computers came online and people found out people weren't mixing there was uproar, and outed. But now that hasn't happened. People don't seem to care.
When looking for new talent, I always look for artists who have something unique about them or are clearly on a mission.
For quite some time, I lost my way, not only business-wise but personally.
