Dance music is so interchangeable. There's not a lot of face to it. It's a bunch of Dutch DJs with the same haircut.
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
If you listen to a Deadmau5 record or a Skrillex record, I really enjoy that stuff because, as aggressive sounding as the Skrillex records are, they're still musical, and that's why they have such a broad appeal.
In the car on my way to the studio, I was listening to 'Where Are U Now' with Justin Bieber and Jack U, so I was like, 'Wow, this is such a banger.' I loved the thought of having a ballad at the beginning and then just a massive drop.
I must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.
There's only so much you can do with a male voice in dance music.
Take dance music: I like enough of it and its history to be able to say a word or two about this or that record, but I'm nobody's authority.
Grooves are important to John Talabot - they're pivotal. That's the case with most dance-music producers, but there's something especially sleek about the Spanish producer's debut album, 'fIN.'
