I know what folk are saying about the hard sound. There are a shitload of formulaic tracks coming out, but it's pushed me "deeper" as it were. My sets retain a hard edge, but the other night for example I was playing wunsch, exium, bmb, reeko, archae & grovskopa, and the likes.

However I still found a place in my set for some of the harder producers. I don't agree that they've all gone stale. In that same set I played "Keiner Da" by Robert Natus on utilities 28. This guy is really trying something different. And Henry Cullen & Julian Liberator on 4x4x18 wasn't anything like most of henry's stuff and I played it as my last track. Brilliant stuff.

I think people just have to look further than the usual suspects. It's possible to play a hard set without sticking to the formulas.
