SPB: You’ve been very prolific in releasing records of late. How do you keep yourself motivated?

Dez Dare: I have always been fluid and flowing in ideas, whether people want to hear them or not. When I was younger I had trouble culling which ideas were better than others, a hot mess of concepts, styles, and plans. I have become much better at filtering the art I produce with age, but still a little chaotic as most people might hear in what I do.

Basically my brain doesn't switch off and the best way to clear it is get the ideas out! Motivation is a strange one. I think if you are artistic it is harder to stop than it is to start. It is for me.
