His favorite bootleg: "Message in a Bottle" I did many years ago was one of my favorites. I came across the acoustic solo of Sting performing on stage so I actually got my hands on quite a clean vocal.
His job before becoming a professional DJ/producer: I worked for my brother. He has an aluminum company, and I was the purchaser there. That was kind of the combination between working and university. I studied commercial economics as well as corporate management, but in the end I was always working on music.
Special requests while touring: I always request a room with a bath in it because I love to take a bath when I get up and before my set. But besides that I don't have any strange rituals. ... No golden toilet paper or green M&M's; just a few bottles of water and some additional drinks.
Bizarre questions from reporters: Somebody asked me whether I have sex underneath the DJ booth. ... It's like, perhaps that's kind of a stigma of being a DJ, but it's not that much of a rock-and-roll kind of thing, so never did that.
