Yeah, I know it's cheese... But Is PunkRoc the best of the nu-electro/big beat breed? I like his slap happy electro dancefloor tracks quite a bit... They seem more interesting than tracks from someone like Fatboy Slim, and they also seem to keep it a bit realer (ie, he's referencing music that he's a bit familiar with, as opposed to the usual bigbeat mangling of hiphop). Any thoughts on Mr. Roc? Sam

Cheese or not, I love the DeeJay Punk Roc album to bits. It's loads of fun, is true to its roots, and he samples the infamous punk rock episode of "Quincy, M.E." - what's not to love? Greg
