The way I see EDM right now, it's a healthy industry for sure - minimal work for maximum profit.

Music is 80 percent fun and 20 percent work. Video games, for me, is all fun.

I Remember' was produced before the vocal. It's just another body of work in the long list of bodies of work.

I get to listen and enjoy music that is partially mine. Maybe influenced and guided. I created some simple outlines, but ultimately, I'm hearing a derivative work.

There are some guys out there who make great music who may or may not be super-emotionally attached to their work. To each their own.

I'd be pretty saddened to hear anyone say, 'Yeah, listen to this... God, I'm awesome, the way this all sits together,' about their own work.

There are some great songs - like, I really like 'Snowcone' and 'Whelk Then' and 'No Problem.' I think I'm dissatisfied that it's not written from start to finish; it's over a year's worth of work that doesn't correlate.

You have to have a certain amount of grit in your sound, and having real synths and talking certain elements outside your computer can help with this.
