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

About 20 years ago, I had a dream in which somebody sang one of the most beautiful melodies I'd ever heard, and gave it to me, and warned me not to forget it. Of course, I did forget it by the time I had got out of bed. Now as precaution, my phone is overloaded with half sung melodies.

I am an indie kid. I made no bones about the fact that I fell into DJing electronic music by accident, by a lucky break, but it doesn't make me any less of a fan of that music, I just never envisaged... not through a lack of confidence or belief, I just didn't think that I'd be sharing the bill with people that I was going out to see myself.

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

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

If you can't frighten yourself, I don't think you can excite other people. And I like being frightened.

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.
