All the best bands have a language, and what they say within that language makes it is what it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 don't know if this is a good thing to say, but the musical obsession has almost shifted to a creative obsession now.
