"This taps into my DJing years. It's a techno record which oozes the melancholic, musical tropes of deep house, made by DJ Rolando and Gerald Mitchell, from Underground Resistance in Detroit. I've played this far too much in the car, but it's great in the car. Tracey uses a couple of the tracks on here to power-walk to as well. [laughs] I love that. So if you see her steaming across Hampstead Heath, headphones in, she's probably listening to this!

"During my student days I read Henry David Thoreau’s essay On Civil Disobedience for the first time. Here, in this courageous New Englander’s refusal to pay his taxes and his choice of jail rather than support a war that would spread slavery’s territory into Mexico, I made my first contact with the theory of nonviolent resistance. Fascinated by the idea of refusing to cooperate with an evil system, I was so deeply moved that I reread the work several times."
