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.

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.

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.

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.
