i guess you're looking for the more "progressive" house stuff that has a lot
of dark tribal influences....
hard house is really stupid fast house music with deranged children
melodies.....i agree with Stavros that brokenbeats and hard house don't
really mix, especially cause i think those are aimed at 2 *very* different
audiences...
i would suggest you check out some records under the "progressive" and
"tribal" labels in your local recordstore....stuff like halo and hip-e,
6400crew etc. will prolly be more what you're looking for than the hard
house stuff
