Fair enough mate. Just a bit touchy on that score. A lot of sad people will write me off for doing it but Alex is a production influence of mine and when given the opportunity to work with him I wasn't going to say no was I. If you don't collaborate now and then you don't learn nuthin!
As for hard dance you can't expect anything original. IT's a dancefloor formula and it is that way for a very good reason. If you want different to the formula don't listen to dancefloor techno.
