[Dynagroove] Re: Punk rock House music in LA

[Dave Sanford]

A good dirty bass line and wicked beat, is a good dirty bass line and wicked
beat no matter what you call it.  I've never actually heard of punk rock
house music til this morning anyway.

The House of Jealous Lovers remix by Morgan Geist was one of the best
singles of last year in my opinion.  I'm not sure I'm call it house, punk,
or negative, but its a wicked track.
