Like a lot of other DJs, I've been wondering when the first DJ game was going to happen. Somebody even pitched me on their own idea and I thought, 'I'm not a video game startup; I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this.'

Just like on Guitar Hero, there are things that are similar and things that are not similar at all. When I first played DJ Hero, I wasn't very good. The control surface is similar in some ways to a turntable, but in other ways not at all the same.

You can be a great DJ and still be not very good at DJ Hero. And vice-versa: You can have never spun in your life on real turntables and be fine on DJ Hero.

My core values are still the same about music, and my work ethic, and what I want to represent to people.

People love drama, and if you aren't really interested in perpetuating that, it keeps you from exploding on a mainstream stage. I'm totally fine with that.

There's any number of DJs who have inspired me over the years. I don't actively go out in clubs, so I can't tell you if there's some hot new talent out there who everybody's aware of but I'm not.

Everything right now tends to be the same and very aggressive, and I think people are getting a little burned out on it.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

To be honest, I didn't really get into making music to be an album artist.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

So, in addition to being a full-time father of two and everything else in life, it isn't so much that I'm sitting around plotting an album. I just kinda follow my muse and wherever my interests lie, and at some point I decide, 'Right. It's been a while, time to figure out how to get serious and make some music.'

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

I always consider every album to be a snapshot.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

My main thing is constantly looking forward and trying to make music that I couldn't have made at any other time.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

If you think of any long-term ...

If you think of any long-term artist that makes music throughout several decades, you would hope that it's autobiographical and a form of self-expression, and that's certainly how I approach my music.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

When I make music, it takes me...

When I make music, it takes me two hours to get into the flow. To me it's like tapping into some kind of subconscious frequency: I just have to turn everything else off, open up part of myself, expose my fears and try to work through it in the music that I'm making.

I would much rather people kick and scream and tear their hair out and accuse me of all kinds of blasphemy, than just have no opinion whatsoever.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

I would rather have 10 people ...

I would rather have 10 people working on a record that are really committed and believe in it and love it, than 50 people who have no idea who I am or what I'm for.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

I would agree with you that there's 90% imitation and 10% innovation. That's true of any genre.

When I'm looking for DJ sets and stuff to drop, I look for music that I feel is gonna get the reaction I want from the crowd.

I still consider myself a consumer of music more than anything else.

DJ Shadow 67 quotes

I was sort of like a kid in a candy store, realizing it was fun making beats without the perceived burden that every track I did had to be a some progressive sample masterpiece. It was nice to blow off steam and work on those songs. For me, that's what 'The Outsider' was about in general: forget everything, I'm just gonna follow my own music, and make the music I want to make.
