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

After putting out quite a few albums, there's a feeling of why make another? I was trying to make something that was an album experience.

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.

The lo-fi scene and the riot grrrl thing had a huge influence on me. As a teenager I went to see Bikini Kill and all those bands.

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

I worked on the tracks so they sounded as good as possible in there... I wanted to make something that was for the night.

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.
