 It was this style of music that gave birth to the sound of the "Hoover", a gritty sound produced by the Roland Alpha Juno 2 synthesizer and so called because of its apparent similarity to the noises made by vacuum cleaners.By 1996–97, there was a steady flow of UK based hard house that threw away the fun & uplifting parts to incorporate the "Hoover" & other gritty, menacing sounding elements at a slightly higher tempo than the conventional hard house and thus, the style effectively became known as "Nu-NRG" when Blu Peter coined the phrase in a magazine interview.Doug Osbourne (Sourmash/Razor's Edge/Illuminatae), Gordon Matthewman (DJ Edge/Illuminatae), Jon Bell (Captain Tinrib), Jon Vaughan (Jon The Dentist), John Truelove (Lectrolux/Hyperspace) Pete Davis (Baby Doc/Hyperspace), Owen Swinard & Dom Sweeten (OD404), Paul King, John Newell (RR Fierce), Ben Keen (BK) and Nick Sentience all had a heavy hand in shaping this sound in the UK specifically.
