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.
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."
It started off at a club called Disobey, around the corner from where I live.

It's only interesting when you're from somewhere else, like America or Japan. The further away the more interesting it is.
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?"
