In 2007 Radio Active turned 30 and to celebrate they ran a 30 hour marathon on Friday 7 December - Saturday 8 December. The marathon had the concept that each hour represented a year in Radio Active's history.

We were lucky enough to score a spot on Andy and Pete's show and we broadcast live from the Newtown Working Mens' bowling club, where the party was being held.

There was a bit of confusion over what year we were: we were told 2003, but Pete and Andy thought it was 2004. But then those guys were always ahead of us... In any event, our tribute to the year 2003 featured a brief reminiscence about SARS (bad times, bad times) and a sort of remix/gravitational warping of Missy Elliot's 2003 masterpiece "Pass That Dutch", which I've unilaterally decided to call the 'Dutch Courage Mix'.

You may (but probably you won't) notice a point where the mix stutters a lot. This wasn't intentional; the computer we were playing off started throwing a fit. Miraculously though it managed to right itself.
