I'm truly grateful for every moment I've been able to spend doing what I love to do.

I love getting to travel and perform to different crowds because you're exposing yourself to new music, new cultures and the atmosphere is always so unique.

I actually listen to hip-hop to unwind, so that's really the music I use to clear my mind. I find listening to someone like Dr Dre helps me to take a break and find a groove again.

I love touring and I love being in the studio making music, so that's where my passion lies.

I can't ever see myself stopping DJing or producing.

If I doubt whether a track works, I'm just going to play the instrumental version in my set and judge where the crowd takes it.

That's something I want people to know, that I am a real DJ. I started as a DJ before I was even a producer.

A lot of people always see the EDM DJs as button pushers, especially when deadmau5 came up with that term. Well actually I started out as a hip-hop DJ and I won several awards in Holland for my skills.

An album is not like an hour-long DJ set, you know, hit after hit and then build up to one big climax.

I think my album, 'United We Are,' was the perfect blend or radio- and festival-friendly songs. I try to combine both.
