I disagree. it's far EASIER to go back to house when there's a minimal backlash going on. it sounds fresh and happier against all the harsh germanic techno but its also safe, tried and tested. far more balls IMO to stick with your genre and develop your own style instead of playing to the crowd. Luciano's housier sound last season didn't do it for me - but i'm sure other people enjoyed it. Maybe I'm showing my age, but i've been there, heard that, and i'd rather listen to a fresher, new sound than go back to cheesy vocal house.
Agreed
