DJ Sammy & the underground Taken from www.raves.com/News/DJSammy.html Q: With a lot of dance music being underground, do you find you receive skepticism because you've been able to popularize what you've done? sammy: You know, some people see it bad because they say, 'DJ Sammy crossed over very strong' because they're doing very underground stuff, yes? But to be honest, I don't believe in underground stuff. I also believe that underground people would love to be successful. But, you know, when somebody doesn't arrive to there he says that it is very bad. It's not only jealousy, it's impotent as well. When you feel yourself, you cannot make a number one then you say 'this number one is shit'. It's because you cannot (do the same). Maybe you are not capable, first of all, second, maybe your look is not prepared to be a personality, or artist, or loved person. You are a shy person, you are not ready for the world. There must be a few reasons behind it that makes you be underground. Because, what a beautiful thing, to extend your job, your work, and make people happy with what you do. I mean, I don't want to say, 'oh, I want to make as few as possible people happy, I want to be minimalist because I'm underground'. It's stupid! I want to make as many people as possible, happy! And the other way, they say, 'oh, I don't want my music to be big', I don't understand this kind of thinking. I mean actually, with this electronic sound, I'm really getting huge, huge, respect, and also, thank God, I'm also getting respect from also the whole underground industry today because they say, wow, he's doing, of course, chart, import music, but at least the quality is there. So, it is important that what you do, whether it is commercial, underground, or not commercial, whatever, that you can call it is well done. Maybe it's not my taste, but it's well done.
