Submitted 10-06-09 16:07
Quick fire rounds usually mean run of the mill questions tagged on the end of interviews like top three tracks. Not for this feature though as we line up Lisa Pin Up, Rob Tissera, Technikal, The Tidy DJs and Caz Wood to answer 20 of the most random questions you never knew you wanted to know about them!
With only a few days to go till Contagious and Frantic’s HDS Present 28 Raves Later at Hidden on Friday 12th June we rounded up the headliners and got them to spill the beans on their deepest secrets. Expect surprises, weirdness and hidden talents.

RT: Australia.
T: Sydney.
ST: Leeds – haha!
CW: Saona Island in the Dominican Republic, it’s amazing! Or more closer to home, my bed (with Wain to cuddle up to!)
You could potentially be in the Quarantine bunker for some time! Other than your tunes and headphones name 3 other items you would bring with you.
LPU:
1. My husband, family and dog.
2. T.V and DVD.
3. Chocolate.

1. Sony PSP for music and games.
2. My laptop for work… and porn, haha!!

2. Laptop (I couldn’t live without being able to go online!)
3. Lots of alcohol to make the time go by faster!!
What other music do you like outside club land?
LPU: When I am on my exercise bike I have the radio on playing chart music, other than that, I like to save myself for all the banging tunes at the weekend!
RT: Everything But The Girl are awesome.
T: 80’s and 90’s retro music. Anything and everything from those eras really. After the party finishes at our house, the lights go down low and the VH1 classic channels go on!
ST: Anything and everything, from Talking Heads to Take That!
D: I listen to all types of music. Everything from Foo Fighters to Girls Aloud (when a lass is in the car with me, haha.)
CW: I am very sad and love pop music! I saw Girls Aloud at Wembley last week (probably shouldn’t admit to that!!).
What was the last thing that made you laugh?
LPU: I was in a changing room in River Island; I was laughing at myself but not telling you why!
RT: Family Guy. It’s so naughty.
T: An old TV show called ‘Mr Ed’. It’s about a talking horse but is filmed in the 60’s, it’s absolutely unintentional HILARIOUS - Youtube moment!

CW: Sleeping – I can sleep for hours any time anywhere! Now that’s a talent haha!
Water balloons or a Super Soaker?
LPU: Super soaker I suppose.
RT: Balloons please.
T: Depends on the task. If going for an all out blitz, water bombs from a high point can be a fantastic tactical manoeuvre. On the other hand if it’s just a face to face gung-ho, you’d want a Super Soaker on you. Preferably a CPS 1500 or 1700. For the size and mobility of the thing, it packs a decent amount of power.
ST: Super Soaker.
D: Got to be a super soaker, have you not seen them bad boys.
CW: Water balloons – we had soo much fun with them at a Tidy Weekender once!
If you were granted three wishes what would they be?
LPU:
1. That I could fly, my best dreams are when I am flying high above all the buildings
2. That I could eat and drink as much as I like without making myself feel sick

RT:
1. Make my parents live forever.
2. To have an Aston Martin one day
3. To have three more wishes of course!
T:
1. To be financially stable for the rest of my days.
2. To have a massive orgy with Girls Aloud.
3. And for my girlfriend to be OK with that.
ST:
1. World Peace.
2. That every body in the world was into dance music.
3. There was no such thing as bugs, I can’t stand insects.
D:
1. For world peace
2. To win the lottery
3. And for there to be no more politics, they ain’t no good.
CW:
1. To always be in love
2. To win the lottery!
3. To have endless wishes (has to be done!!)
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
LPU: I suppose Shark but that is not very strange nowadays, I as said I am mainly a bland food person, a nice bit of fish and chips for me.
RT: Pigs cheeks in Indonesia – YUK!
T: Wow – that is pretty strange but I hear a delicacy in some parts of the world! Mine is pretty tame, I tried Kangaroo in Australia and loved it.
ST: I have eaten Chickens foot, they are minging! Other than that I ate a crayon and some playdoh when I was younger.

Contagious & HDS Present........28 Raves Later.....
Government officials have released a statement warning that all hard dance clubbers are in danger.
There has been an outbreak of a new super-rave virus codenamed: CCWVHDS-120609
The origin of the outbreak is a top secret government research facility in the Cambridgeshire countryside where scientists were working on a way of controlling the minds of hard dance clubbers in an attempt to curb our way of life......but something went horribly wrong.....the virus mutated...and is now starting to infect clubbers up and down the country.
Health officials have called upon specialists in infectious events Contagious who have teamed up with Hard Dance Specialists HDS to form a nationwide task force to combat the growing problem.
A special quarantine bunker has been setup at a secret bunker location in London known as Hidden.
All infected ravers are being rounded up on the 12th June for special quarantine procedures to ensure that the virus is completely eradicated once and for all.
Scientists have stated that the only cure to the virus is to subject the infected victims to hours of the loudest and most banging Hard Dance Tunes, so a number of specialists in this area have been drafted in to help in the effort.
