He noted that "They were doing everything based on how they wanted to do it. People say we're control freaks, but control is controlling your destiny without controlling other people.

As opposed to, 'oh we got signed to this record company, we gotta use their plan.' They wanted to make sure they never had to do anything that would make them feel bummed on making music." In regards to the duo's creative control and freedom, Bangalter said: We've got much more control than money. We live in a society where money is what people want, so they can't get the control. We're not trying to manipulate other people, just controlling what we do ourselves. People should stop thinking that an artist that controls what he does is a bad thing.

During the same year, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons requested that the duo remix their single "Life Is Sweet" and open for The Chemical Brothers' tour in the United Kingdom.
