People ask me about all sorts of sounds. There's a sound of a screeching toy or a rubber duck and everybody asks me about that, but it was an absolutely random thing, just a cool sound.

I thought Everything Ecstatic was the happiest of them all - hence the "ecstatic" name. The whole concept behind that was total out-and-out euphoric mania. I think tracks like "Smile Around The Face" are the jolliest things I've ever done, really. But one of the things I like about my music is the fact that it's instrumental, so there are no lyrics to guide people.

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.

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

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

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

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.
