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

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

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.

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.

I wish I could do something else, I wish I was an amazing painter or a brain surgeon or something, but it's just what it's been.

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.
