Lol, so true.
Tbh, the "old" hard house scene with people like Pete Wardman, Tony De Vit, Steve Thomas, captain Tinrrib et al was actually a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, that sound (which was really just faster, slightly harder house) got bombarded by a younger generation jumping ship from Happy Hardcore and it's demise (see Toytown from more info) in to Hard house.
Along with it, the sounds changed and it beamce Hoovers and Horns, which meant a lot of the older producers (De Vit, Wardman) who had a more "normal" sound fell out of favor.
Also didn't help that Tony De Vit died of aids. He gave his entire record collection to fergie but fergie really moved in to that new sound then tried to get in to techno which didn't really play out.
