What have you been listening to lately?

Right now? Let’s see pulls out phone … Anita Ward, I can’t stop playing her 1979 hit “Spoiled by Your Love,” those types of disco records, like Donna Summer’s stuff with legendary writer/producer Giorgio Moroder. Scrolls through iTunes … Oneheotrix Point Never, Billy Idol, Roxy Music… have you heard of Space? They were like the first French robot group, it’s pretty funny (plays “Magic Fly” from video 1977, which sounds like a Daft Punk prototype).

You’ve really gotta tap into what makes Daft Punk Daft Punk, or what makes Prince Prince, you know? You just start diving into it, really digging in, and then you forget that nobody else knows it! Scrolls some more … Lots of Hall & Oates, a lot of deep house, Chicago house, Cocteau Twins, Eazy-E, Kraftwerk — Kraftwerk was a huuuge influence on this album, like “Man Machine” — Egyptian Lover, Human League, Strawberry Switchblade, lots of electronic stuff… and Rick Astley! (laughter) I shouldn’t have let you see that!

safe to say that the sound of Dawn FM was conceptualised around this time?

That deep voiced spoken portion on Don't Break My Heart is pure Egyptian Lover homage, no one seems to have picked up on that
