2007 – Comet McNaught looks cool up in the evening sky. Some lucky bastard wins the biggest ever – $370 million. wtfbbq? Daft Punk come to Perth, fans weep with joy. Electrronic music goes indie, HotChip, Digitalism and Simian Mobile Disco all whack out grand albums. Fluoro and Nu-rave becomes a way of life – everyone except those under 21 years of age cringe in horror. All round-awesome guy James H passes away after valiant fight against evil; hardcore-hard-dance-hard-rave category named in his honour, which is given to the much talented Rousa. Skooby wins the new Urban Category, after many years leading, Xsessiv takes out a well deserved win for Best MC. ShockOne belts out best tune and Duncan Barnes grabs the awards for best event photograph. Ben Mac shows everyone that being the best House dj isn’t all about holding the handbag, and Flex rides the electro wave with full honours.
