Early rave, old funk, old school hip hop, house, electro, a mispent youth, getting chills when a DJ dropped Hardfloor, loads-a-breaks and electro/house producers, Stevie Wonder, Stuart Price (the new Brian Eno!!), The Orb weirdly enough, Steely Dan, Grace Jones, Eurythmics, Hot Chip, the new French wave, the new German wave, the new Belgium/ Canadian wave, Grandaddy, The KLF (read their book, it's awesome).

Recent bizzness:
Remixed The Rivers, We Have Band, and the latest single from Darren Hayes (ex-Savage Garden), titled Me Myself and I. The Andrew Friendly remix went on to be number 8 in the Upfront Club Chart, and number 2 on the Commercial Club Chart in Music Week. Also, the most recent Friendly 12" on iO Music (Ride Baby Ride) was licensed by Klaxon's for their Bugged Out Mix. Following that Let's Fuck was licensed to Ministry of Sound Ibiza Anthems. I've just finished a track with old school rapper and hip house legend Fast Eddie, that'll be coming out in April 09.
As well as doing this Friendly stuff, I also do my band Milke, produce for Black Peter, and for Roxy Wilde (Kim Wilde's little sis) and some other peeps. I also run a record label Gulp Communications. We've got Joe and Will Ask signed to the label, as well as my projects here. We license to peeps like Kitsune, who are really nice. All in my top friends. And just for fun, I do One Hour Rave.
