  My fears were unfounded. All that 'nail biting' for nothing.

  All the ones I've seen (I've not unpacked the last set yet) have had a metal version of that bit.

  The surprising thing to me is that he's playing what I presume are CDJs. I didn't think anyone was using them in the 90s. Maybe I'm just so old now I've distorted the timeframe I think they existed in in my head..

  We're similar age but I missed most of the best years living in the bush. I didn't get back to Melbourne from the sticks until late 90s. Mostly "proper techno" events though did go to some of the bigger parties like Two Tribes which would have multiple areas playing different stuff, though even then I preferred techno - wasn't into house or candy kiddy NRG shit even though prior to then I was listening to Happy Hardcore, gabber, etc. My mates were all "proper techno" heads, throwing their own parties so I was going to those in the 2000s ignoring all the bigger, commercial events. There were some festivals too which would have a mixed crowd but often have an electronic tent - they'd be the only places you could see any massive names (Prodigy, Chems, etc) although my mate's crew did get big enough bring DJ Misjah to Melbourne and Dave the Drummer and a few other internationals.

  I think over here the first event I went to was in somewhere in SE1, in the tunnels? Liberator, etc. were playing.
