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

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

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

I've always explored things that people find a bit more freakish, like free jazz, and I'd gotten to a point where the live music I was making was really hectic and turning much more confrontational. So when I started working on Everything Ecstatic, that was very normal for me. I think it was a departure, but people read it as an escape from something, whereas every record I do is, I feel, a departure.

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

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.
