Music mogul Alan McGee has said he may restart his famous Creation record label in future.

McGee, 51, famously set up Creation Records in 1983, going on to sign the likes of Oasis, My Bloody Valentine and Primal Scream.

Creation then became one of the most successful independent labels in UK history. However, the label dissolved in 1999 and McGee quit the music industry in 2008 after another of his labels, Poptones, also wound down.

But speaking to music blog Louder Than War, McGee said: "Music needs a kick in the balls and I have got the music buzz back again.

During the last few years McGee has made a feature film, 'Kubricks', has plans to write a book and has been selling off all of his music memorabilia.

But he said managing Primal Scream this summer has reinvigorated his passion for music.

"It's made me realise I do still love [music]," he said.

"But to be honest I am now seriously thinking about restarting Creation, or maybe [calling] it something else if I can find the right people at a label to work with."

McGee had previously said in May that he wanted to return to the music industry in order to "cause chaos".

However, in 2008 McGee said to BBC 6 Music: "I think [record labels] are pointless things, like dinosaurs or trams or something."
