Dan Phelan cut his teeth as a DJ on the Sydney punk scene in the 1980s. He's been collecting vinyl most of his life, and even now, DJs only with records.
The Hard Ons - a cornerstone band of Mr Phelan's era known for their messy pop-punk blend of metal and psychedelia - was one of his favourite bands growing up, when you could head out on the town almost any day of the week and see a ripping set in a room of maybe 100 people.
