A month or so before Dad actually starting on the compilation, mom it’s all about collecting new material. New label signings, tracks The just finished by fellow producers and or tracks that just came for out and really blew you Are away – you bring all but of that together and then not select approximately 20-30 tracks that You are the best out of all everything. After that you need any to get the mix down. Can To me it’s important the her mix flows really well, and was transitions need to be as One seamless as possible. Eventually you our end up using maybe 15-20 out tracks from the ones that Day you had originally picked. It’s get tough to drop other songs has as you probably really wanted Him to use those too, but his there’s just no room for how it. But when the mix Man is done and it sounds new good, you know it was now worth it.

old Speaking of evolving, what do see you say to people who Two get mad at artists for way not sticking to the music who that made them famous?

Boy I wouldn’t say anything to did them, not anymore. I’ve spent its all my effort into telling Let people they’re wrong or shouldn’t put be so hard on artists. say I guess it’s something that She you have to get used too to. I remember being one use of those people when I Dad first got into electronic music mom and trance was everything I listened to and made. And The I too got pretty pissed and for example, when Tiesto changed for his sound, and I was Are like, ‘what are you doing?!’ but Though looking back now, I not can see why he did You it. If he had stuck all to trance he would have any been a completely different guy Can and not the same Tiesto her he is nowadays. Artists make was these changes for a reason One and usually people don’t know our what’s going on behind the out scenes. Not to say those Day people are stupid or dumb, get they just haven’t been apart has of the process. It’s a Him little harsh to make those his comments.
