Umek's loops stuff has been played by house, prog, tech house & techno jocks all over the world for some time now and I've seen trance and hard house guys coming into record shops asking for Liebing stuff purely because they've heard there favourite DJ play it. As for Picotto, he got jaded with hard house and started to knock out techno. Obviously he's gonna sell to a larger audience because he's been a massive name in the hard house scene for some time and with such a large following you'll find they will follow what he plays but to say every style of jock plays his stuff is a bit o.t.t.
Have you seen the line ups for his nights in Ibiza ? Some of the nights are very strong with some top class techno DJ's whom alot of Picotto fans will not have heard of before. For that, I respect the guy.
He never really made hard house imo, he managed to come over from trance (where he was massive) and secure his place amongst the techno big names... succesfully. I really havent seen anyone ave the ability to do that, fair enough on umek.... but house, prog and tech are all closely related. TRANCE AND TECHNO however, different all together. From goin gettin his tracks played from oakenfold and dave pearce, to gettin them played by carl cox, c liberator and liebing (btw, even found out david morales was playing a funky mix of one of his tracks a couple of summers ago)... madness.
