The music that I have always liked has always been more rooted in anger or sadness or alienation or any of those inspirational factors that drove rock'n'roll, gospel, and blues. I tend not to value a more pop aesthetic.

My main thing is constantly looking forward and trying to make music that I couldn't have made at any other time.

I got asked to remix a lot of movie themes, like Mission Impossible, which other people ended up doing quite well. But it was just never my thing.

To be honest, I didn't really get into making music to be an album artist.

I personally feel the need to experience life and new music and ideas before I can sit down and start writing music again.

I think one of the things about ageing is the jagged peaks become a little bit mellower...? Heheh. And I feel like I'm able to understand a little bit better where that sort of tack comes from.

Anything that sparks some eight-year-old's interest in music or DJing is great.
