With DJ's such as Pin UP/Fergie playing on radio 1 and introducing Hard Trance/Techno into their sets i think that hard house as a sound has lost its identity.
I did here a few tunes in the Charts about two year ago but havn't heard anythiong since.
Its deifinitely a part of mainstream club's list of styles of music when it never used to be. I remember when Slinky started playing Lisa Lashes at the Opera House in Bournmouth and thinking here we go thats the end of that then.
There are still people who are still running proper Hard House nights that cater for this music and this music only which I respect
