I like the notion of guiding, because I can offer advice through my own experiences, tastes and beliefs. But it's all in that individual's hands.

You can't live life being afraid, because fear censors ambition.

There was certainly a space I felt for me, don't complain about it not being there, make it.

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

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 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.

There's zero correlation between owning music and being a greater music lover or musician than the next person.
