The great majority of women are more intelligent, better educated, and far more moral than multitudes of men whose right to vote no man questions.
It's always important to me to play something other DJs aren't playing.
When I started Fool's Gold and producing consistent records that were like electro beats with rapping on it that was experimental and weird. I made a mixtape called Dirty South Dance where I put rap vocals over dance music. That was literally an experiment. Now all these rappers are rapping on dance music. This is something I've been trying to build for a while.
I'm not even a trained producer. I just keep following my ear and working on stuff until it sounds the way I like it.
There are things I like, there are things I strongly dislike. In my DJ sets and in my production I just gravitate towards what I like.
Traditionally, with a DJ set, you just go hear DJ that has a good reputation and let the DJ take you somewhere. It was up to the DJ what he wanted to play. Typically in dance music, people didn't know most of the songs a DJ played.
There's a bit less elbow room and latitude to take it somewhere else, at least at festivals. In the club you can do whatever you want but at festivals, especially Ultra, nowadays the crowd wants to hear our songs.
…but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.
We have not come to compete with one another. We have come to complete one another.
You know what, the drummer is my manager. He's busy. And I'm busy. I don't need the dough, though. But having said that, there's a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn't great.
Brent Weinbach made [Gangster Party Line]. I guess I saw it when it first came out. And that is so goddamn funny to me. The guys are real dudes and they're not good, but they're also good enough.
