I'd have to put Speed Garage and MAW in the above group, I thought
the Nuyorican Soul stuff what just uninspiring for me so I've avoided
MAW for the most part. Heard too much Speed Gah-rahge (in good
English accent) when I was in London back in '98 to care anymore.

But, I have to say Basement Jaxx and Cassius got me interested in
house, but, I do like the mellow groovy stuff from the early '90s out
of Chicago.
