Chris said: “You’re quite a cool guy. You quite still individual. You know. And did you feel any pressure onstage to be a little bit who you not?”
Pete replied: “I wouldn’t say pressure, you just get carried away with the moment, you know. Yes, it’s quite electrifying. So I do end up doing things I’m not normally seen doing like pogoing.”
The worldwide DJ went on to reveal that he doesn’t watch any of his performances back, saying: “No, I don’t like to do that.”
Chris said: “No, it’s not advisable is it!”
