"The truth is I have long past dubstep saturation point. "
"The truth is I have long past dubstep saturation point. I love a lot of the music still, but it’s harder to find among the herds and the steaming piles of imitative stuff. A lot of people have made this complaint. A lot of people take the piss out of me from the outside because they don’t understand the reason I’m still stuck in dubstep raving is because a) I’m in love with a lot of the people and b) when you find the good dubstep, it’s still pretty damn amazing."

"The tits girl really made me think though, which is funny, because normally I mentally deride tits girls for being brainless. Coki is a bit of a rock star now. So is Benga, especially since the two of them did a track called ‘Night’ which is like the biggest thing in dance right now. It has been one of those rave things which supersede the shallowness of genre. Oh yeah. But when your bass-ship becomes so colonised you could compare it to Mick Jagger’s lifestyle, you really have to stop and ask yourself some questions. Have we lost the spirit of true rave? When I started hanging out with my right speaker geeks, raving was about getting away from people who went out to look at tits, and all the tits you see in the trashy papers everyday. It was about forgetting the fact you go to the cornershop and there are hundreds of magazines with tits all over them all up in your face.
"It was about getting totally, utterly lost in amazing sounds. It was a true thing of beauty. I went down by that right hand speaker and had astonishing listening experiences every other week. Now I seem to just hear the same banalities, like I am lost in a big sludge. Maybe I’ve just been expecting too much of it. Of course, the multi genres of raving mean there’s no one single facet to raving anymore. Maybe I need to do some more genres. But if I do, will I eventually get bored of them too? I remember when I was a teenager I went out raving a lot to jungle and then I got bored of it. I never thought it would happen again. "
