Starting out, I remember being on the same bill with other bands, and I always thought they were so much better because they were rehearsed and had all their moves down and they sounded really tight.

You're trying to make music, and then at the end of it you give reasons for everything.

I'm quite interested in what words can be, if it's very few words, and it's a kind of club track but it has a sort of uplifting or spiritual kind of feeling to it. Somehow, something bigger than just the words on the page happens when you hear it all together. Sometimes I notice when I'm DJing, I put on a lot of tracks that feature vocals. I guess for me, it's just from growing up loving songs, so maybe I'm geared slightly more towards dance music that features a song element.

For me, the audience is the most important thing in the whole chain, so finding out how they respond to things is a learning curve at all times.

I don't love CDs more than anything else, but I was just playing around with the idea that they could be something you're momentarily keeping hold of as everything is passing by.

To stop for years and then discover that the audience is getting smaller and smaller would be demoralizing.

I find it really disappointing and cheap when someone's copied the whole drum sound from a record.
