I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

What happens in the studio is technically the same thing that happens on the stage. In the past I had to make quite brutal adaptations of the material to make it work on stage. I don't always like doing that because sometimes you're shaving away the things that you actually quite like about them, the spontaneity of it.

Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.

I’m not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That’s nothing to do with me.

I make music to generate atmospheres, not to complement already existing ones.
