This amused me:
[COLOR=lemonchiffon]"These two are no strangers to Australian shores, of course, either individually or as a team – and so it should come as no surprise that the two have their fair share of amusing stories and anecdotes from having crawled so thoroughly through Australian clubland. Their favourite?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=lemonchiffon]“We did a Northern Exposure tour – 1997 I think? – and we had to do a mix for triple J,” John recounts. “We were supposed to get this mix done, but we got delayed, and then something else came up, and we finally ended up going into this club in Perth on a Wednesday night that was having an 80s night and asked if we could record our set. It was one of the most surreal things.” “It was this really cheesy bar,” Sasha adds. “But they had this little DJ setup in the corner, and so we asked if we could borrow it to record our set.” And so, on a weekday evening at a small hotel bar in Perth, twenty-odd punters were treated to a blistering three hour set from two of the biggest names in dance music.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=lemonchiffon]Their reaction? “Kind of mixed,” John says with a laugh. “Here was this little group of people in there expecting 80s music, and there’s Sasha and myself up there in the booth churning out the most banging upfront tunes at the time. Some people were coming up asking why we weren’t playing 80s records, while the other half of the room knew who we were and were standing there in disbelief going ‘what on earth are you two doing in here on a Wednesday night?’” “Yeah, it was a real banging techno mix,” Sasha recalls, “much to the amusement of the cleaning staff.”[/COLOR]

Its now a classic set - and some lucky bastards witnessed it for free in a hotel lobby .. probably while Sasha was inundated with requests for Rick Astley & Wham !!
