Sometimes I joke (usually with friends) saying “…my music is about as good as Armin van Buuren’s music, when he started with Push. I’m not joking, I’m quite serious, of course I’m not saying I’m as good as Armin, I’m saying I’m as good as Armin was… when he started<\/em>” : ) <\/p>\n

Friends usually laugh, or smile, they think I am really joking. In my view that’s a great self-deprecating joke, and it works on two levels – they first hear it as a modest, factual comparison – “as good as Armin when he started<\/strong>” – and then they realize I’m cheekily placing my music beside a future legend’s earliest work : ) Thus, according to me, the “punchline” would be the implied comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
