Do you do any rituals before starting up a tune.

A pintfull of very, very strong coffee and it's on.

2nd that, then i start making a hype tune, and the more stoned i get the more chilled the tune gets! lol hence why ive still yet to make a hype track!! haha

I cast a circle, offer a blessing to each of the elements to notify 'them' (trying not to anthropomorphise) and invoke spirits to aid me in creation.

Afterwards I offer a blessing to each element for their grace, bid any spirits farewell and close the circle.

Smoke all year
Drink all day

sit down.
begin.

very very seriously...

a shower

I normally sit down and start whacking out ideas at about 9ish, and i'll know pretty soon if i'm onto something or not. If i am, i'll fucking run as fast as i can to the little corner shop before it closes and get myself 4 or 5 beers and then get drunk whilst staying up until 4am working on the track.

disconnect from internet
thats basic secret!

I don't bother opening my daw up till late, everything i do, even in terms of the mixing(in the djing sense) i do late at night, I seem to concentrate on it more at night for some reason. Im just an odd individual I guess.

Yes, I often open my Daw up just before bedtime and end up not sleeping at all...
I also find that I have huge creative spells whenever I've got a uni deadline to meet. Damned annoying...

if you make dubstep you got to skin up a fat 1 and get blazed other wise every thing comes out to hyped
