"On hearing the recording, it immediately sounded like techno to me, so I put a kick drum and hi-hat on it. I tried to work fast and instinctively, pushed by the drive of the recording. The overall sound was also inspired by a recent mix I did for FatCat records, which in turn took me back to my days DJing in Brighton and London around the turn of the millennium, when noise, techno, academic recordings, soundsystem music and a lot of very battered charity shop records - including a lot of global recordings - were all part of the mix, with the aim always being overwhelm, discombobulation and a sense of melting rather than anything more culturally highfalutin."
