"When I met Ansel, I didn't know he was a star. We were in Amsterdam, my hometown, at a Nicky Romero Protocol party about a year ago. The funny thing is, I've never seen one of his films because I barely watch movies. We had a crazy-fun night — then I posted a picture with him on Instagram, and the number of comments was ridiculous. I found out who he was a week later. What makes Ansel so cool is his easygoing personality. He's the most humble guy, and he's always true to himself. He is supertalented, but still the same person I met last October. And he produces his own music, which is a big deal in an industry where most people hand that job over to someone else. We send each other tracks, and we've played onstage together — but our friendship is about more than just music; he's like a brother to me. I think we've exchanged around 200 ugly selfies — I'll wake up and get one from him, and then I'll reply back with one. Ansel and I recently met up in New York and had a great conversation, the type you can't have with just anyone. We relate on so many levels — we're both young; we love music and life; and we each have great careers and are trying to balance them with our personal lives. It's nice to have a friend who really understands you. — Martin Garrix"
