Those were the days, listening to scorpio & producer tapes drinking white cider as a young lad :) . I really used to be into the harder edge techno, not so much of the speedcore though. I do still like hearing it now & again at north, brings back memories of the 'good old days'.
As for hard style its starting to sound boring to me, dont get me wrong I do like some of it & I find it works in small doses such as the odd tune hear & there to brake up a Hard trance set or at the end of a techno set. To me it just sounds to similar to the stuff I was listening to 6 years ago but slower.
