We're hoping to do a couple of festivals too. We're curating a couple of stages at some smaller festivals. There's a really small festival called Ilkley Moor festival in Ilkley just up the road from where we live in Leeds, that's about 1500 people and we're programming 12 hours of dance acts, which is great fun. And we're also involved in another one in Lancashire which is a similar sort of size called Beat Herder. It's a really nice vibe on the day and everybody's just interested in the music.
ILM: You've sold over 2 million records to date, recorded with the likes of REM's Michael Stipe and Chuck D - any amusing anecdotes you can share from those times?
JEZ: With Michael Stipe, the reason that came about was because he'd done a few interviews and cited our first album as his favourite dance album, but he started dropping that in inteviews about eight years after it'd come out, so, to still be his favourite dance album was a massive honour. We didn't want to do a Michael Stipe goes dance kind of track, we wanted to do something different. So we spoke to him and said we won't write a song, we'll just talk to you for an hour over the phone about anything and whatever we get we'll use that to make some tracks out of. And that's what we did.
