I used to party. Oh, how I used to party, I used to love to party. I’m a psychedelic trance maniac, nothing I liked more than dropping some acid, popping a couple of Es and heading into outer space. The fun the excitement, the spin!

Trance and drugs are a perfect combination, especially LSD. There’s nothing like a bit of psychedelic inspiration, going places that no man has ever explored (really!). I used to love it. I don’t know why there isn’t a bigger psy-trance scene in Australia.

I lived in Japan for 12 years, Tokyo in fact. The capital of madness and the best place in the world to trance the days away. Every weekend (or weekday for the more intrepid) dancing in the forest, off my head with thousands of like-minded space cadets.

Japan is also home to my favourite drug, one that is taking Oz by storm, crystal Meth or as we call it, SHABU. Pure crystal, made by the Yakuza, guaranteed to get you there and keep you there for days and days and days (no matter how much you wanted it to end!).

The Japanese used to feed it to the Kamikaze pilots before they’d fly themselves into oblivion. Made them feel God-like, apparently. I know the feeling. What a rush, what a laugh. Never felt like eating, only dancing and having lots and lots of wild sex. I had to give partying up, I turned 40, lost too much weight and caught a couple of nasty diseases (not drug related though!!!!).

I did have the best time by anybody ever on the face of the earth. I used to say “I’m gonna get high ‘till the day I die!”. I’m not getting high anymore but I’ve got my memories and there’s a total solar eclipse happening in South Australia in December. Five days of trance in the desert. One more time with feeling! I’m sure I’ll have a taste.

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to space we go!
