About Lost in 12 inches

Lost in 12 Inches is a personal, episodic journey through Sydney's underground rave scene at its peak. Each episode weaves a specific track from the era into a first-person story — the clubs, the warehouses, the people, the nights that defined a generation. Hosted by Michael Philbey, a Sydney boy who lived it, this is music as memory and autobiography as audio. Every track played here was owned, danced to, and lived in.
