People read into the music. I have a feeling that they can believe that I'm trying to put some emotion forward. It's not just some technical exercise.

Make a record in your bedroom on a cheap computer, play it on pirate radio, and that's what's it's all about. You can do something really exciting and you don't need any record companies. The way I do everything comes from that, the impact of those two things.

With a lot of the music I really love, like Miles Davis, you can go back and see the processes and the stages.

I find that people in American are often much more purist. If you're into hip-hop, you're totally into hip-hop - you wear the uniform, that's all you listen to. If you're a goth, you're totally a goth - you've got, like, 4,000 piercings, black hair, you really go for it.

It's such a normal thing for a dance producer to make music and try it out in the club, but that was relatively new to me. I wanted to make a good album that felt like it had a point.

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

I feel like there's a young generation of producers who are taking inspiration from dubstep but trying to push it in other directions.
