Not your standard "what's your favourite release  / colour / taco" interview.

Absolutely fascinating in depth interview - by far the best i've ever seen with the man :thumbsup:

He's such a science geek but an amazing musical brain....well an amazing brain full stop.

I hope he one day releases his Blade Runner soundtrack, that'd be interesting to hear.

This is amazing:

D: What’s your equipment set up now?

J: it’s just pieces [of analogue equipment] connected together, no computer, CV triggers, MIDI…. I’ve always made music really quickly, so if the track is five minutes, it probably took me twenty minutes to make it. Fifteen minutes to program it, couple of minutes to set it up, five minutes to mix it. So in a couple of hours I can make a lot of different things.


I remember once when he played The Orbit and he was just programming an 808 on the fly and mixing it in with the decks. After his set there was this 808 with all his loops still in it and people were freaking out about how they were going to use them :lol:
