This was massive in Oz. Like, in the proper charts and shit.
"the first dance song to top Australia's chart without any support from radio."
""Here's Johnny" ended 1995 as Australia's 14th-best-selling single and earned a platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipping over 70,000 units." -

Here's Johnny was big here as well I don't know if it charted though even at the back end. Plenty for me to catch up with here

It seems that in the 90s we had limited access to the UK sounding stuff and most of our dance music was coming from Germany, Beglium, NL.

Most of the good German, Belgian and Dutch techno never made it to the UK let alone anything French or Italian. Scotland used to get most of the big Dutch names playing at Rezurection and a Welsh techno night Madtech? Used to get one or two. Paul Elstak managed to sneak some cheese through and maybe the odd GTO/Technohead tune but I think that was about it so we had British DJs playing British hardcore with probably less 10% Scottish and 5% international. But that's Hardcore the Hard Techno DJs played everything from anywhere. Lenny Dee was the most eclectic then Producer,Scorpio and Clarkee. Loftgroover and HMS played loads of German gabber but most of it was too hard for my tastes as by the time I'd hit the clubs around 96 they and Lenny Dee were moving towards more speedcore yet Hardcore was getting too happy and cheesey so I spent 97- 2001 mostly following around Producer, Scorpio and Clarkee. Brisk and Marc Smith would play the odd harder bouncier set but I always enjoyed but there was so much good Hardcore being produced in Europe that I just wasn't getting the chance to hear. I've been playing catch up ever since and now I reckon 92-96 I've heard most of the Hardcore and 97-00 probably half the Hardcore. It's a pass time that truly baffles my wife

I was a metal head and got into gabber because DJ Astor the techno show guy used to mix gabber into the stuff from the earlier Metal Milita show. So it'd be some Rob G track with speedy thrash guitar and slamming 4x4 kicks and then he'd play all kinds of stuff, shitty eurotrash, trance, techno, acid. But at the time it was basically all just called techno by us lot. I gradually moved from gabber into happy hardcore then into trance and techno with sprinklings of UK stuff like D&B/jungle coming from things like JJJ Mixup shows. There was no rave scene no club scene there. You had to go to the big smoke for that and I was too young. I think my first raves were in my early 20s but I was back in Melbourne by then and mostly listening to trance, psytrance, tech house, techno with only little sprinklings of hardcore and metal from my earlier days.

Is that the same Selway that plays/produces a lot of techno with Christian Smith?
EDIT: Looks like it. Thanks Discogs

Looks like he was half of several quality collaborations so I'll dive deeper I just knew him as Disintegrater. Thanks Discogs

I don't have any of his hardcore but he's from NYC I think so that might explain the Lenny Dee thing. Lots of his remixes appear in Christian Smith sets. Looks like the were a "duet" :)
Just looking at where "Next is the E" samples came from and Moby sampled his own tune, UHF for the piano

Swear there was another Sil tune I was into recently.
Maybe I wasn't into it but it was posted. Windows? Yeah, deffo this. It's got a thumbs up from me on YT...

That's quite quirky. I think I'll add it to my collection for boingy acid weirdness :)
