[Dynagroove] About this broken party...

Thu Jan 3 11:05:23 PST 2002

That was precisely my point Nick. You think just because it's the Dynagroove 
list everyone here doesn't deserve to hear/or say the truth? Well, that's 
lame.
The truth is Dynagroove is notorious for being an elitist group of house 
heads. And that opinion is held by allot of people out there.
You guys should just take my message as a piece of constructive criticism, 
and make ALL house heads feel welcome (including people who go to clubs). 
Not just your standard "Dynagroove style" house heads. Because there sure 
are a hell of allot of people who like dark, deep and dirty house in LA and 
they like to goto clubs, not parties to listen to it. I've often felt 
alienated because of that.
But, just so I'm even handed, I've been to plenty of Dynagroove parties 
where I've had fun too. So my comment is not a total knock on the Dynagroove 
list. I just felt Sylvia's comment on the Broken crowd came from that same 
Dynagroove elitist mentality, so I had to speak up.
It's all good. And what Dynagroove is doing is all good. But we should all 
be real rite?
