六: 你认为你是个音乐家还是一个电脑艺术家?
Leo de Boisgisson: Do you consider yourself as a musician or as a laptop artist?
XX: 两个都是，这不冲突。
Dead J: I'm both, there's no conflict between the two things.

六: 你怎么决定做电子音乐?
LdB: Why did you decide to produce electronic music?
XX: 因为当时我找不到其他伙伴一起做我想做的音乐，除了电脑。
DJ: Because I couldn't find a good partner to do the music I wanted to do, besides my computer.

六: 你在哪儿工作?
LdB: Where do you work?
XX: 主要在我的工作室。
DJ: Mostly in my home studio

六: 你主要靠音乐的什么方面赚钱?唱片销售?表演? 其他?
LdB: Do you make your money on records sales? Performances? Side projects?
XX:卖唱片已经不能算是主要收入了。现场演出算是一部分收入，还有舞台剧、电影音乐这些也是一部分收入。
DJ: Record sales don't count as a main income. Performances represent most of it and soundtracks for theatre or movies are a good complement too.

六: 你喜欢俱乐部吗?
LdB: Do you like clubbing?
XX:我可以说俱乐部已经过时了吗？因为俱乐部不能总是单一的舞曲文化。
DJ: Can I say that clubbing is already ‘passé’? because it's a monotonous culture.

六: 你对DJ有什么想法?
LdB: What do you think of djs?
XX:是一门技术，同时也需要在意识上有改革的精神，因为他们播放的音乐会影响世界。
DJ: Djing is a technique, and at the same time djs need to have a progressive and open mind because what they spin influences the whole world.

六: 你最喜欢在什么样的场地表演?
LdB: What is your favorite kind of venue to perform your music?
XX:工厂或者教堂，或者看起来不那么复杂的地方。
DJ: Factories or churches or any place that looks raw and simple to invest.

六: 你认为人了解你的音乐吗?
LdB: Do you think people understand your music?
XX:我觉得如果真正的去听音乐，是不需要理解的，感觉好就听，好的音乐应该有气质，但是不需要概念支撑。
DJ: I think that if you really listen to music you don’t need to understand it, feeling it is enough. Good music has to have style and personality but doesn’t necessarily need a conceptual support.

六: 你演出的最好的回忆是什么?
LdB: What is the best memory of performance you have?
XX:很难说。
DJ: That’s hard to say

六: 最不好的呢?
LdB: What's the worst?
XX:很难说。
DJ: That’s also hard to say.

六: 你明年有什么计划?
LdB: What's your plan for next year?
XX:明年会有好几个新的音乐项目要开始做，很多是关于音乐、声音与视觉、环境融合的项目。
DJ: Next year I’m going to start new projects, projects where music, sound, vision, and environment can merge together.

六: 如果你不在做音乐你会选择做什么?
LdB: What would you do if you weren't doing music?
XX:我大学毕业的时候曾经想过当老师，后来发现音乐同样可以作为工作，也觉得挺幸福的。
DJ: After I graduated from uni I thought about becoming a teacher; after that I realized that music could also be a profession and I think it's a happy life style.
