Sure, but what's wrong with that? As long as you don't pretend that it's 
somehow more than that, I think that's cool. I mean, there are a 
shitload of music sites out there, so I go to the ones that I have 
discovered match my taste. Or more precisely, I like the one's that have 
*their* taste. So I know deeprhythms.com will have a lot of variety, but 
all within a deep housy area. I don't care that they don't want 
guestmixes from other styles, they can submit to a different site!

I say go ahead, just be careful to avoid sounding judgmental, bombastic, 
pretentious, etc. Say "Experimental computer music that we like, in such 
and such a style." And see who listens . . .
