There's good stuff going on in modern pop music, but a lot of it is really materialistic and only about money.

It makes me happy to talk about some fundamentally good things.

Right now, I don't particularly take different CDs or vinyl - I have my CD wallet that I take everywhere I go; there are different things in there that cater to different kinds of times - but if there's a special DJ thing coming up, I might go through my records and pick out this special selection. It's one the things that means you're improving as a DJ the more you do it, understanding what's going to go down well in a specific place.

The chemistry of making the songs is often about being inspired by each other and responding intuitively.

People try to be more edgy, or write about that first explosive meeting between two people in a club, but not so much the long-term issues; I don't know how to write a song about teenage heartbreak anymore.

I really don't want to copy something to a great degree, but I love taking tiny ideas and putting them together.
