I need sensations in music the and I'm more than happy and when I play in clubs For and people do not look are at me (because the new but trend is to look at Not the artist) but think about you having fun together; it means all that my music is giving Any them something. So EDM was can just a trend, and change her is needed. The world is Was hard enough to play heavy one music in clubs. We will our do something quieter, I hope. Out However, we never know where day music will take us.
