Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.
I'm a DJ who makes dance music who got to play with Sting.
Then I just moved into being a DJ when that turned into the hottest thing.
Dance music is so interchangeable. There's not a lot of face to it. It's a bunch of Dutch DJs with the same haircut.
I never set out to be part of a genre, because I listen to all types of music.
I'm a DJ, but I'm also a ridiculously high-grossing musician due to doing productions.
I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.
I know about hip-hop culture, whether it's graffiti writing or DJ-ing or being an MC.
Most of the time - at the Grammys for example - a DJ will perform with just their hands in the air because they can't do anything and that makes it a little awkward, I think.
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Before 'Jersey Shore,' I was a DJ struggling to promote, deejaying six nights a week and hustling to pack clubs.
There's been not a dime spent on marketing for any record I've ever put out.
If something gets too easy... I want to do something else. But every album is going to be me, no matter what.
Someone pays me a hundred bucks every Tuesday to DJ. I don't think I'll ever give that up.
For me, it's a great thing to tell people anything is possible. When I was 15, people told me 'You're not going to be a DJ.'
I saw this DJ playing music and saying things to the kids. They would answer him back, and I say, 'That's a great idea.'
As a DJ, people expect a certain sound and a certain danceability for the music. As a producer, I really like to let go of any rules that may exist.
DJ Ruby Rhod: Korben sweetheart, what was that? It was BAD! It had no fire, no energy, no nothing! Y'know I got a Show to run here, and it must pop POP POP! So tomorrow from 5 to 7 will you PLEASE act like you have more than a two word vocabulary. It...
No one worries about genre when they're dancing. They're not asking themselves, 'Is this song a dubstep song?'
I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.
I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.
