Punk-house is a funny genre because nobody really wants to call it house and maybe they shouldn’t, but from what I have noticed, the experimental warehouse party scene sounds much more “deep” than it used to- like with diva samples and long phasing chords. Last week I went to see a sold out show with artists Teengirl Fantasy and Blondes at the DIY venue “Monster Island” (a huge basement/warehouse in Williamsburg) and people were dancing to the KLF in between artists- after all KLF was a punk band. Blondes and TF represent a new generation of kids that probably got into electronic music via The Field and Black Dice, but have made it really raw-using hardware and samples instead of laptops and software. Rather than all of the spazzy punk-techno that artists such as Eats Tapes or Extreme Animals made, the new scene is really chill, smooth, deep, and transcendental.
