Now 32, Carter grew up in North West London surrounded by the sounds of grime and UK funky. "When you're young, you don't really process that there are people who were there before you doing what you're also doing,” he says. “You think you're kind of the innovator at the time." "Terry Farley and a bunch of other people told me they used to go and watch my dad play," Carter recalls. Looking back on it now, he recognises the subtle environmental influence of things he perceived pretty normal as a kid: records all over the house, music always playing.
