“I was looking for a new contract to record the next album and places to buy. I have a relationship with Ninja Tune because I worked with this label before to help record material to Roots Manuva ... When they found out that I was looking for a label to record a new album, they invited me, we met, and it seemed to me really right. They are just very nice people. It seemed cool - fame, excellent electronics and to my manager, who always helps me, this studio is in the spirit. ”
