Twin B
"The UK thing has just stepped up. The quality's just big now. Even as a DJ, I'm finding that the majority of stuff I'm playing is UK stuff. It's not cos I'm trying to rep, it's just that the quality of UK stuff is good enough for me to play. Yeah, I'm happy about that, man. It's exciting!"

"Music's changing all the time. You've got to be with it while it's changing."
Twin B
"Obviously we sell enough to cover costs [but] it's not a thing of money, half of em have been given out... We're motivated by a love of music."
