Is there anything in music that really excites you right now?

Is there anything in music that really excites you right now? Absolutely. I mean I think you can learn something from every DJ. When I go running, I [listen to] sets from other DJ'. No matter how big a DJ is, or how small, or how new, or young, old, whatever, I think you can always learn something from somebody else. Because that person has a view on life, and he wants to try to entertain you in a different way than other artists...so I get really inspired. At Ultra Music Festival I listened to the set by Krewella. I listened to Skrillex. Not because I want to make that sound, absolutely not—you know trance is closest to my heart. I think in a way that's my job as well; I have to understand why people like certain tracks. Even if the music doesn't appeal to me, I have to understand, I have to be open minded to it. And I even have to understand why a track is Billboard #1, even though usually I don't like the track at all.
