How can I live a better life? How can I be a better person?

How can I know more about myself so that I can be in the world in a conscious, compassionate, loving and connected way?

The concept that I love it the most is the concept of the beat as something that unifies dance floors and unifies people.  That has always been my goal in music because, on the dance floor, you can break down color barriers, sexual barriers…It becomes universal and it brings a lot of people together.

I’m basically interacting with the crowd and trying to feel where their energy is that night, where the room can go as a whole, how I can have the most bodies dancing at once, and experiencing the most ecstasy at any one time.

There’s something about being in a room with more than a hundred people and everybody’s experiencing this new thing for the first time.  It’s like being witness to two thousand births all at once…You could almost just look at people and they’d look at you and you’d just have this understanding about what was going on, but there was no way to communicate it.  It was just this physical electricity in the air.

House is more than a word, more than a sound, more than four beats per measure.  House is you, the one—reading, writing, listening to it, dancing, DJing, producing and loving it.

It’s [DJing] a huge responsibility, you know because really it’s…not about just externally changing the lights or this or that—the work has to be done internally.  And if the work isn’t done internally, then something, it’s going to go in the music, it’s going to be in the party, it’s going to be in these things.  And so it’s a process where one has to cultivate their own life in order for these things to start.  It’s kind of like putting into the forge and tempering the metal until you do it so much, that the blade cuts through anything.
