Have you ever done acid?
Quite possibly! *Laughs*

Quite possibly awesome! *Laughs* Dude tell me about your setup, you said you have five computers?!? How do you work that shit?
*Laughs* I kinda wanna sample you, I like how you said that! “How do you work that shit?” *Laughs*

Dude show me where the booth is.
The problem for me is I only have two hands, one brain and a couple hours a day to actually work, I have too many fucking ideas and not enough time, and even if I had enough time for all my creative ideas, I don’t feel like I have the right to explore them all because the free time needs to be shared. I think our society is so upper class, it’s cool, it feels good to be able to have shelter and be able to buy food whenever, I love that, but there’s a really necessary balance for me to understand like “holy shit I’m here in this country that basically takes care of everything as much as I simultaneously critique our ridiculous government, the country is amazing, its not just something to be proud of but take advantage of and say “wow out of respect for everything I have, I want to give back” and that’s kinda something I hope to inspire in other people through my music and what I do with my life, celebrate what we have by giving it away. There’s unlimited means of creative and production for me and I just really try to not completely indulge in it because it comes so naturally out of my mind, I wanna spend more time giving back on a social level.

Your website has a chill social networking vibe, how deeply involved in that stuff are you?
I’m definitely a meta communicator, I’m more interested in community than I am in music, but I love music, I started out producing events when I was 16 like making death metal battle of the bands in library basements and I threw my first rave when I was 18 I immediately wanted to throw raves out in the forest and stuff, I thought about being a DJ. I love the internet, I love discourse and dialogue within a community, and encouraging people to become inspired by their surroundings and to dive deeper into them and music is kinda like a vessel for that. I wouldn’t necessarily brag that I’m a geek though, I’m not that technically proficient but I have a lot of friends who are, like Daysha who designed the site. The whole goal is to foster and encourage the free exchange of information and also to foster and encourage discussion about that information. Fighting against the whole sound byte culture of humans growing up in an underfunded education system and provide content and prospective, we could also practice sharing opinions and receiving critique and critically thinking, ya know. I think it’s important to admit that we don’t know very much and we’re probably gonna be wrong. *Laughs* So why not have an open mind and hear other people’s thoughts and spend more time visiting and less time watching or consuming.

Hell yeah! What’s inspired you lately? Today or yesterday?
Wow! Fuck! I’m pretty inspired 24/7, right now I’m inspired by music that I’ve been collecting and remixing for this upcoming tour, I’ve got about two weeks home after being on the road and working on my album so now I’ve got two weeks home to kinda prepare for a two and a half month tour. When I’m on the road I don’t do a lot of production work, it’s just like hyperdrive, five computers open, editing hundreds of thousands of songs, and going through every site I can find, every blog, downloading everything and listening to it like “I hate this song but that intro is the shit lets take that loop” or “oh this song is so rad and it’s in the same key as this song so lets match these two up, okay I need a drum beat, this song has a sick drum beat lets stick that one in.” Using Ableton Live it has massive tons of loops and samples and bits of songs that you can embellish and enrich your existing record collection with, all in real time. It’s ridiculously inspiring.

How do you handle all those remixes?
Most of the remixes I do these days are live routines where I have a bunch of clips and loops prepared and a bunch of samples from a track I wanna remix. Where as in the past I spent a lot of time finalizing my remix and pressing it to a CD and then DJing with the CD and that kinda thing, now it’s just like the whole collection is warped in Ableton and ready. I’m working on a Pixies track right now, Where Is My Mind.
