I like to think I play a lot of everything, as long as it makes sense over the course of the night – house, more techy stuff, electro, maybe even some minimal. I think the most important thing is being true to who you are. Like if there’s a good electro song, sure I’ll play it. Not because it’s the new thing, but because it’s a great song. It’s cool when someone leaves the dance floor for a half hour, comes back, and I’m playing something totally different from when they were last there. It’s like how did he go from there to here? But you kind of get it over the course of the night.
How has technology changed DJing?
I had been using Serato for a while, but after talking to Sasha and seeing the potential of it, I’ve switched over to Ableton. But I use it very differently than most. You could never keep 4 or 6 turntables going at once, but with Ableton you can. It just adds so much more to your set. I think a lot of DJs feel that it’s time for something that excites us again. I also feel you have a responsibility to the crowd to push things forward and to find the next best way to get them to dance and present the music they want to hear in an interesting way.
What's the weirdest thing in your iPod?
Let me see… I have lots of classical movie soundtracks; it’s what I’d like to do in the future. I’m a big fan of Cliff Martinez, he did the score for Solara and Traffic and both are amazing.

Thanks Dany!
Cool.. I like that he's into various genres. Its great to have a well rounded set: alot of listeners and dancers like various genres as well.
Also interesting that he plans to do classical movie soundtracks. Thats *kind of* what BT did with his latest, This Binary Universe. I'm curious to see what Max might produce.
