Yo Yo/Sir Jon: You lucky Europeans. Let me tell you this...
In all of Aus, Melbourne would have to be where it is happening for Techno and dance. Sydney also has the goods, but it is more house oriented (or so I've been told).
Sir Jon: You say 20 pounds (AUS$48) is a lot for a party - and yes, it is. But Internationals have to travel a LONG way to get here. We don't get them very often, and they are often signed-up to play for only ONE crew. They don't have the freedom to do as they want here. Party organisers here are very greedy - all most of them care about is $$$.
Yo Yo: You LUCKY bastard! Umek TWICE? Hawtin 3 TIMES??? BILLY NASTY?!?!? FUCK! We DREAM of seeing acts like that as often as that! THOMAS KROME? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? We NEVER get to see that many class Techno acts in a few months, let alone 3 years!
Europe is where its happening in Techno. Not here. We see the same DJ's ALL the time. (Jeff Mills is one name that springs to mind...)
So don't expect too much Techno over here. Sure, the parties rock. I've heard from a few sources that the atmosphere at our parties is second to none. But music-wise? There's a lot to be desired...

Yo Yo: What's your opinion of Billy Nasty? My friend saw him at The End in London when he was over there and said he was awesome...
