people holy-grail different
The holy grail for a music fan is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever. Or, even better, from lots of different planets. The closest we got to that was before the Internet, when people didn't know of each other's existence. Now, that doesn't really happen.
cheer track people
You can't rely on the fact that people know you. At Glastonbury, when they all knew I was DJing, everyone was cheering even though they'd never heard some of the tracks I was playing before.
sound arrogant favourite
It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
interesting people projects
It's really funny, because if you make up words, then people project their own meanings onto it, which I find interesting.
track erratic switching
I'm a quite erratic person: From setups to actually when I'm doing a track, it's just turning and switching and changing all the time.
successful america underdog
In America, it's quite admirable if someone's done well or been successful at whatever it is. Whereas in Britain, they're not. They only like it when you're the underdog.
lying kids should-have
I'm just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music.
interesting sticks done
It's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously - you get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.
thinking holy-grail fans
The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.
years track sound
If it takes you three years to set up a studio, and you've made one track with that setup, then the logical thing to do is not change anything and just do another one using the same set of sounds.
nice home giving
If you're making things at home, there is no structure - no end, no beginning. So releasing stuff is a really nice way to have dividers in between what you do, and giving yourself a kick up the ass and saying, "OK, that's the end of that period."
people despise knows
Can't really despise people you don't know.
clever emotional guitar
It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'
dog
I'd like to have a dog with me.
