• "I knew what kind of music I wanted make, but at first I found it hard to get these conflicting desires to blend well outside of my head. I’d been making these weird remix/mashups for my occasional Djing, so I thought, I’ll take the method I’ve been using for that but use it for song writing instead. The very first thing I tried was HYPNTZ.—Dan BlackInternet DJ: Listen: Dan Black Drops Notorious B.I.G. Hyptonize Remix (July 28 2008)
