Of his debut EXP album, DJ Shufflemaster has said: "Artists do not create albums with one theme like humans do not live with one thought. But unwise critics would like to think that albums are done based on one theme. If those critics see ideas or themes that do not agree with theirs in an album, then they reject it immediately. However, my album is not for those unwise critics. What I would like to do is to show my thoughts and everything that I am through an album. If the album does not reflect my ideas and the reasons that I live for, then there will be no meaning for me to create an album. Therefore, the album EXP does not contain just one theme or concept. "Events in life and the factors that surround the musical styles could be expressed by words such as expansion, experience, experiment, exploration, explosion, exposure and express. Thus, the album is titled "EXP".
