Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. De La Soul3 Feet High And Rising

That’s something that me, Bob and Pete really bonded over, our love of De La Soul. They were just so upbeat. It was a really kind of jolly rap. Oh no, that sounds awful: jolly rap. Don’t say I said jolly rap! What I mean is that they were rapping but it was filled with positivity. ‘Me Myself And I’ – that’s a very positive message. Again, we’d listen when we were dancing around getting ready to go out and you’d hear it in the clubs. Loved all the imagery, all that daisy age design. I never saw them but I’ve got a funny feeling Pete did.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Gold Panda, Johnny Dean of Menswear, Nightmares on Wax
