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

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.

When drum'n'bass happened, when the two-step/garage thing happened, there was a chart smash every week; it operated on the underground and the pinnacle of pop mainstream at the same time.

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

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

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

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.
