I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

I find the more I DJ, the more ideas I have and the more music I want to make.

So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

I like putting a lot of personal touches in the music.

If I bare my soul in bits and make it personal, I think people can sense that when they hear it.
