Obviously like many of us, I love music, and I hate music sometimes.

It's getting to the point where, to be honest with you, even though there is a lot of great music around, especially in clubland, certainly from my corner of something I just felt like I needed to get my hands dirty and DJ out.

You have to follow your instinct, and that's what I've tried to do all my life, whether in music or anything.

I think the two sides to me are the same as two sides to anybody. In relation to the link between doing the label and being a DJ, it goes back to the thing of necessity. It's the only way I feel I can do something creative that's going to satisfy me.

It's all gravy when everything's great, but if there comes a point where there's a problem, as with any kind of relationship you need to fix it. There's always going to be something, and it could be the smallest detail you'd never have expected or it could be something substantial, but it's how you deal with things.

Instinct is the most powerful thing you have, and you have to trust it.

Break eggs to make omlettes, never be complacent or think 'I've got a career here, I've got to keep it going'.
