What I like about electronic music is you don't really need to be that learned or educated in any particular context. You can just make sound, noise even, whatever it may be.

I simply remix an artist accommodating the way I wish to see this track. Remixing is entirely personal for me, music is entirely personal for me, and it has to be a natural process.

Abscond - to move in a mysterious way, commonly with the property of another.

It feels good to rail against what is wrong in the world, to fight the good fight, to beat the drum of making a difference. I am right there with you.

I deeply believe that men and women need each other.

I am what I am and, you know, I'm a very lucky guy.

Life can make you do many things, even kiss a man with a runny nose.
