What does disco mean to you?
It’s music I grew up with. I lived it as the songs were new.
What was this year’s House in the Park like for you?
It was a lot of fun. The guys before me were playing all great music, so I had to rethink what I came to play …
It was my first one, and the whole thing was great. What was so great about it were the people, the vibe, and the way it was put on. I mean, the music, the mainstay music, and the guys who were playing before me, it was an incredible crowd and a beautiful day.
