On February 9, 2019 in the 5,000 strong Sydney Rave History Facebook group Brett O'Meara, best known in the 90's for his Prodigy parties posted a simple question

RED ALERT.
WHERE IS DJ CRISIS?
IF YOU KNOW, PLEASE POST IN HERE.

It was not the first time that Crisis' whereabouts have been questioned with even rumours floating around that he was dead as had not been seen for many years. Some suggested he was in Adelaide.
​
Thomas S posted - "Crisis if you are out there please let someone know you are ok! - you are loved by many ❤️" and he had last seen him in 2008 and he used to hang together at the powerhouse parties and at Gas nightclub.

There were even links to a crisis website - http://www.djcrisis.com/

Sonya posted - "Freakin' LOVED that guy's sets. I'll drag my 50 year old butt out to dance to a set of his any day or night, and if it takes us until I'm 100 to find him I'll come out with my Zimmer frame." and that's pretty much how we all feel!

There were links to missing persons sites and some punters even looked for him on the ABN government site.

But a week later great news came that he was alive and well and a member had ran into him recently and had his phone number. Contact was made and Crisis averted (pun intended). He was fine but just off Facebook.

Old friend and SRH admin Shannon SKP asked if it was okay if he answered a few questions and he agreed.

These were just some of the parties that Crisis played at from 93-96. Even the most hardcore of ravers would have struggled to have attended a handful of those classic parties and Crisis was spinning at them! Crisis had a very unique style which I would put down to his choice of records and his rare talent of playing on 3 decks. It was rare to be able to identify his tracks and that helped make his sets great. His sets were mostly on the harder side and always got the crowd hyped to the max! He was prolific in both his career and recorded many Mix tapes and CDs. ​

Crisis agreed to a 2 part interview and here in Part 1 has listed a few of his favourite things:
