DJ Format chats to ilikemusic.com

ilm: You say your music "retains a sense of humour." How do you achieve that?

FORMAT: erhm, I honestly dont know. There's a fine line between sence of humour and cheesy, I dont know if I did it this time [FORMAT laughs] I feel like I did do it the first time, but then this time you got a song like Ugly Brothers, thats the one I find alot of people saying "ah yeah, thats my favourite one off the new album" and I think well great! I'm glad people like it, but there's some of my best work there like 'Rap Machine' and 'Seperated At Birth' that seemed to have been a bit more over looked. I get sort of parranoid, like, oh god! the humour thing, I've gone too far with it, but at the same time 'Ugly Brothers' for example is just like a light hearted break on an otherwise fairly hard album, its not quite as light hearted as the last one though is it.

ilm: You supported Jurassic 5 on their European tour. Who is currently on your collaboration/tour support wish list?

FORMAT: There are people I'd like to do certain things with definitely, but its just not always possible. Just because you like someone's music doesn't just mean you can for various reasons, other peoples schedules etc ... I don't always think its healthy for everyone to work with everyone else, it just becomes a little bit kind of played out, like you see every track on some peoples albums "featuring" someone "featuring" so and so, which I'm obviously guilty of because I'm just a DJ and producer, so all my vocal stuff is going to be featuring somebody, but luckily I managed to retain some sort of continuity to the album so it didn't feel like that whole "rent a rapper" ... er I went way off the question then didn't I? ... What did you ask me again?
