ive come to appreciate house a lot more over the years, but i guess when you start to produce things yourself you look at other things in the music.
i started listening to metallica and went straight to deathmetal and later punk, havin my hiphop periods inbetween though, but besides that generally been listening to harder faster stuff. and also when i started liking techno it was the harder-faSTER part that atracted me.
but now its like, if it sounds good it sounds good...
