Richard D. James Track Quotations

Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound.

There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

If it takes you three years to set up a studio, and you've made one track with that setup, then the logical thing to do is not change anything and just do another one using the same set of sounds.

I'm a quite erratic person: From setups to actually when I'm doing a track, it's just turning and switching and changing all the time.

You can't rely on the fact that people know you. At Glastonbury, when they all knew I was DJing, everyone was cheering even though they'd never heard some of the tracks I was playing before.

I've always got to change something. All the tracks I've done in the last five years were made in like six different studios. It gets a bit complicated.
