:lol: IQ mate, you should be on stage!!

I downloaded a couple of DAVE the Drummer sets a while ago and, to be honest, they did sound hard housey to me. I think it´s the bassline. It just doesn´t sound "right" for techno. Kind of like with Some Mauro Picotto tracks - even if it´s a good track you can still hear that he is primarily a hard house / trance DJ, and that he produces from that angle. The tracks are tough, acidy, techy etc, but with a kind of bouncy bassline which does remind me of hard house.

I think Mark can probably add to this, cos he´s played techno at club nights organised by hard house organisations. Did he have to alter what he played to fit their sound more? Did he play stuff with a different b-line, to fit more into the hard house sound? I don´t think Slinky would appreciate if you dropped some Jeff Mills...
