When did you first hear his music? Are your thoughts/feelings about his music the same now as they were then? I've personally followed along since Acceptable in the 80s dropped in 2007 and I've been hooked since. He certainly knows how to switch things up with his productions and he doesn't have just one unique sound which I love from him. I must say, I didn't feel his urban switch up in 2017 at all so I'm glad he's continued with the EDM sound.

It was only during the 18 Months era I'd become a proper big fan though.

I distinctly remember when ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ came out and loving it a lot and then ’This Is What You Came For’ was released on my 18th birthday which was pretty cool. So that’s around the time I became a proper fan, and I’ve loved everything he has done since and also his previous albums now I’ve gone back to listen to them.
