I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass player's brother's bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool. ↗

I'm a big techno fan. I love that thumping kick drum. We heard a version of 'Lost in Love' and it was thrash metal. It sounded cool! ↗

Los Angeles is just a more open place. The way L.A. functions is that people give you a forum. They say, Show us what you can do. ↗

I'm not here to battle anybody. In the end it's just an instrument. That shouldn't be a concept. ↗

There's individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do. ↗

Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media. ↗
