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

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

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.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

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.

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.
