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.

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

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

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.

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.

If I bare my soul in bits and make it personal, I think people can sense that when they hear it.

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