I was excited about this because I was the first DJ who played at the Kremlin and created a show at the Kremlin. It was good; it was interesting. I was nervous before the show, of course, because I was the first DJ who played at the Kremlin, but I’m glad about this title. It’s not like my reputation, it’s like a title, because I am a musician, but I have this title. For me, it’s fun and good. It’s a really serious thing for artists because normally clubs and festivals, it’s like every week like Friday and Saturday I have gigs worldwide, but Kremlin, it’s a serious place.

Yeah, I put a little bit of pop, because it’s not only young people. The main difference is that there are chairs; everybody sits in chairs. When I started to play, some people stood up and started to dance, and my hip-hop fans started to do like this [waves hands in the air] because it’s the dance music and their hands moved really fast because that’s what they do in hip-hop. It was really funny.

He’s a very good guy, he’s a really good sport, and he really enjoys and loves music. I can say that’s good because I play for him sometimes, because he invites me for some official parties and it’s really good. He likes more folk music and Russian music. I have a big collection for Mikhail and he likes Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and UFO’s “Belladona” – it’s Mikhail’s favorite song.

I’m a musician, that’s why I write my music and I am working into Progressive House Music, which is music for festivals and clubs. It’s dance music. The difference is, I try to find some special sound for me, like every musician, which is very difficult. People say Benny Benassi, his bass line is very different, and everybody says, “Wow, that’s Benny Benassi.” I try to find my special sound, which of course is different, but normally, I say I want to be like part of the new generation of EDM music. I work in the studio every day; I work for my new sound everyday.

I really like how David Guetta does commercial things like sponsorships, music hits, and pop songs for charts, and I really like what guys like Armin van Buren can do with global things. I like Deadmau5, because it’s really musical, and it has interesting harmonies, and I really like what Skrillex does because it’s a young style but it’s really powerful and it’s huge. Normally, I try to find something new and of course I check on what happens with different artists, but for me it’s very funny. I still listen to AC/DC, I love AC/DC, I have all of AC/DC’s albums, including the last one Rock or Bust. I already have it. I bought it on iTunes. I listen to it more than house music.

Music is not like politics. I travel too much and I don’t stop my gigs, I don’t stop my studio work. I have friends, musician friends, from every country. I think for musicians, it’s not like politics and I’m excited because I’m a musician and not a politician.

It’s very funny; it’s very hard work for me. I have more fans from the girls’ side. It’s very good because when I have my body hair in provocateur it’s like 8th of March in the club and all girls. It’s very good.
