My records are borderline dance records. They've got a real electro-rock heart and soul, and the vibe of the sentiment is pop, but there's a lot of people that were like, 'This is a dance record.'
Stefflon Don songs go off in the club... well, basically, anywhere people hear them.
The Clash is pretty much my favorite band, and their songs like 'Rock the Casbah' are political dance tracks.
If you're looking for a deep album or you're looking for me to talk about past situations, it's not even about that. It's just 14 hot records that are gonna make you dance.
I've been this voice of a lot of upbeat dance tracks, but people don't really know me.
I tried for a long time to make DJ-able dance tracks that were more specific to the stuff that I was playing. Ultimately, I found I wasn't really capable of doing that. The only type of music I was able to make that really made me feel something would just come straight from my heart or straight from whatever emotions I was feeling at that time.
I've sung since I talked, when I'm two, but what I sang was ballads, because it's very hard to do a dance track with your little acoustic guitar when you're a kid.
I'm a huge fan of The Chemical Brothers and the Ninja Tune label and a lot of the stuff that they put out like DJ Shadow but I think, out of all of them, Leftism really just excited my musical brain in terms of the way that they mixed real instruments with dance tracks.
Nineties music was what I grew up with, and I want to make music that's soulful but that you can also dance and drive to.
I'm used to making songs; that's how I learned to make music. My structures will always be more like pop songs than dance tracks.
In Europe, it's more common to hear aggressive dance tracks on the radio.
If you want to make people dance, you need to follow certain rules. Build-ups and breaks and stuff. I like to be free. On top of it all, I never really felt that I'm good at making fat-sounding dance tracks.
America is new to instrumental dance tracks on the radio, we were all so surprised "Animals" did so well on the radio.
