I'm not going to lie; I'm not a huge remix person.

Remixes come very quickly, because you already have the melody and the vocals. I have a great passion for music, so it doesn't matter to me if it's a remix or an original production. I don't think about it as, 'Well, I have to spend three hours on a remix or I have to do something all original.'

Sometimes, a remix is good because it reaches a whole new generation. But when it gets too much, it's irritating. Also, the original composer needs to be credited properly.

I trade musical favours like cattle. I can't remember the last time I did a remix for actual money. For me, I try and get a good swap.

They amaze me most of those remixes. Some of them are crap. But every time I complain, someone comes up and says they are for a different market that you don't understand. Some of the New Order ones are really great, though.

With this CD technology, you can just remix a record right there on the spot.

If you remix, people want to tap into your sound. If you keep that to yourself, it makes the sound more special.

I've just built a studio in my mama's old bedroom, which I thought was fitting; she died last year. We've recorded nine songs recorded in there already; we're sort of just chipping away.

I remixed a remix, it was back to normal.
