I love the idea that the person that signs you makes the record, because you get that sense of guidance, of being there at that close point.

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

I'm sure that there are many situations in life that are going to offer the same risks and pitfalls that you have to get past. That's just life.

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

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.

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

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.
