Hi Scott and Ken, I am a HUGE fan of you guys. "Vegas" (along with Fatboy Slim's early work) got me into electronic music about 15 years ago!

A few questions, feel free to answer any or all (or none :-( ) of them:

1. What do you think about the tremendous explosion in popularity of electronic music in general? Is this a fad or will it last?

2. Dovetailing off question 1, do you think a crackdown on "Molly" would change any of that? How much of the success is tied to people just using the drug?

3. I really love your signature sound in "Vegas". Is your new album like that? If not, do you plan a return to that sort of style?

4. Have improvements in technology made it a lot easier to record? If so, why aren't you guys recording ALL THE TIME?

5. Any recommendations on influences or DJs that you think have a similar sound to you guys?

Thanks for contributing a huge portion of the soundtrack to my life and for opening my eyes to other parts of it. Can't wait to see you on tour.

I’m incredibly excited for my third Camp, especially after having an amazing time in CO two weeks ago.

1. Anything special about Montage Mountain that made you guys pick this venue instead of anything else out there that the fans might not necessarily know about yet? Food, layout, stage setup, acoustics, etc.

2. Probably too early to announce, but can we expect one/two/three sets Thursday/Friday/Saturday, respectively? Understood if you don’t know or can’t say.

3. Magner, I hear a little more of this in the ’14 and ’15 shows, but do you/does the band ever consider reintroducing the heavier electronic sound from ‘09--for example 4/17/09 Dribble > Shem Rah > Dribble or 4/18/09 jam out of 42? (If you haven’t relistened to those in a while, please do; you’re on fire).

THANK YOU! See you in a few weeks.

Also if anyone else reading has any recommendations please let me know!
