VW: Besides lightening the load, which flunkies normally carry anyway, what's the advantage of using this new system?
A: It's much better than vinyl records. It gives me more freedom. I can search for tracks quickly and be more responsive and more versatile. I think people are tired of listening to hours of the same music, so I want to play different styles.
You have to convert your MP3s into a time signal. It's very quick to get used to because it's the same as playing with vinyl. If your computer crashes then that's a problem, but that's not happened to me yet. And I buy MP3s over the Internet. It's easy and quick to get new tracks. The choice is much wider.
VW: And the plug?
A: I came back to promote my CD. I've been working on it for two years. It took so long because the record company had to license the tracks. Actually I mixed it in one session in my bedroom. It's just that the licensing takes a long time.
VW: Is it on sale in Taiwan and China?
A: The CD is in record stores here. High Note has a company in China, but the authorities are holding up the CD's release, and it may take five months [before it is hits the shelves]. There's no standard, it depends on the mood of the censor. Actually the record company said there might be a problem because the CD sleeve says I am the godfather of Taiwan's dance music.
There's two CD's. One is a mix of newer tracks, electro tribal and dark. The other is funky house, with a beach-party vibe for girls and drinking.
