equipment
It's not about what equipment you have, it's what you do with it.
track sound keyboards
Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound.
school hair feelings
I got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, 'cause I had red hair; you know, like Duracell.
hackers sensible persons
I'm a really good hacker, but I'm not a sensible person.
mirrors light looks
I wanted to do gigs where you've just got mirrors on the stage, and then you light the crowd so they look at the stage and all they can see is themselves. It's just like, "There you go, it's you, you cunts."
wells massive moved
Well, I just bought a massive bank and I've moved into it on my own.
long brain lines
Because I've been making music and releasing it for so long, I've got that production-line thing in my brain: I can't do anything new until the last one's out.
nice writing thinking
When I look at commercial studios, I think, "Oh, they're all so nice and tidy," but it's because they don't actually write music in them.
thinking guy britain
In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. "Who is this guy?"
thinking people musician
I used to love jungle. I still think it's the ultimate genre, really, because the people making it weren't musicians.

That's just globalization. It's got good sides as well. But scenes aren't allowed to develop on their own anymore. Everyone knows about everything.
brain accepting chords
If you hear a C-major chord with an equal temperament, you've heard it a million times before and your brain accepts it. But if you hear a chord that you've never heard before, you're like, "huh."
work-out people brain
There's something wrong with my brain, it doesn't work properly! I can hear the same pitch in both ears, whereas for most people, if you listen to one pitch in one ear, it's slightly different in the other. That's how your brain works out direction.
air interesting hitting
If you've got a stick hitting a drum and you're programming it on a computer, it's more interesting than a sample playing back - it's something in the air, that's the magical ingredient.
