What do you get if you cross moroder-esque synths, crunky baselines, and synthetic funk? Skweee, of course. Well, that’s what Pavan the founder of the pioneering Skwee label Flogsta Danshall would have us believe. He describes the sound that comes from both Finland and Sweden as ''instrumental, quite primitive electronic music.. It usually consists of a "dirty" sound, vibes that make you think of early electro, techno and c-64 music.'' Imagine if Timbaland had all his equipment seized by the IRS and had to make R'n'B loops with the kids toys they left behind. He'd be making Skweee basically! This Nordic noise is on a warpath. Having spread it's digital seed in Scandinavia artists like Beem, PJVM and Wizards of Dos have the Berlin club scene firmly in their Viking sights. It's only a matter of time untill skweee rapes and pillages a dance floor near you. Check out The Nation Of Skwee for all things Skweee related. Labels of note being Harmönia and Flogsta Danshall. Want to hear some some right now? Then download Beem’s album here for freee, Mouth Everest is summit else :-) Below are some choice cuts taken form one of the first Skweee compilations Museum of Future Sound.
