You know, the Chemical Brothers and all that, blah blah blah. It was a Led Zeppelin beat. John Bonham rocked out and made a heavy sound. We liked it and looped it and sped it up. So there's an interaction between rock and dance music there.
Every artist wants their music to have longevity.
But instrumental music by its nature is not going to be as memorable as stuff with vocals. And actually, when you start trying to write songs, it's a motherfucker. So you try to start and write words, poetry with sound, and you listen to Sly and the Family Stone and you think, well you might as well fucking give up. I can't help being eclectic and broad-minded about things. Especially bootlegs and mixes by Double D and Steinski.
