How and why did you start playing music?
D.: Because football to me was too boring, so I started playing music instead.
What would you like people to feel and think when they listen to your music?
D.: Pain and happiness. I want people to feel deprivation and attraction. I want people to use their hole emotional spectrum.
Whis is your favourite song you made and why?
D.: A remix I did for When Saints Go Maschine, that is a combination between rock, electronic music and hiphop. I come from hiphop and then later lead back to electronic music, but now Im back doing more hiphop.
What does Roskilde Festival mean for you?
D.: To get drunk and party. I try to only watch half of the concerts that I go to, to get as many inspirations as possible.
Have you played at the Roskilde Festival before, and if how was your experince?
D.: Yes the last five years. I love playing at Roskilde festival, but I don’t like sleeping there.

D.: The Prince concert two years ago. I saw this concert with my friend Pato, and couldnt stop crying. My mind was like, I believe in funk again.
What band are looking forward to see the most at Roskilde festival this year?
D.: Metallica
Which is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you on stage?
D.: This year it was my birthday when I played and at 00:00 o’clock, 5000 people started singing happy birthday to me. That is the craziest thing I have ever tried. Next year, I hope I get to play with my new project at the Roskilde.
