Stickem — Let Skweee­dom Ring! mix. Get it here: http://skweee.com/let-skweeedom-ring

Skweee com­bines sim­ple synth leads and basslines with funk, r’n’b or soul-like rhythms, over­all ren­der­ing a stripped-down funky sound. The name Skweee was coined by Daniel Savio, one of the orig­i­na­tors of the emerg­ing sound. The name refers to the use of vin­tage syn­the­siz­ers in the pro­duc­tion process, where the aim is to “squeeze out” the most inter­est­ing sounds pos­si­ble.

Or slightly less prosaic:

Skweee, or “Scan­di­na­vian Con­flict R ‘n’ B” to give it it’s full title, is a genre and a move­ment that’s emerged around the (respec­tively Swedish and Finnish) labels Flogsta Dan­shall and Har­mo­nia. Sur­fac­ing mostly on 7” vinyl, the sound is a mis­match of booga­loo electro(nics) and mod­ern, Timbaland/Neptunes-style glitch/bling, seem­ingly cre­ated on equip­ment avail­able well before you’d ever heard of Timmy and Phar­rell. Fuzzy-felt 8-bit synths and crunchy, bit-crushed drum hits dry-hump your ears like Rod­ney Jerkins try­ing to craft Bey­once a hit with only an N.E.S. and a mini­disc to hand.

This mix show­cases many faces of skweee, from its more synth-pop ori­ented styles to electro-funkin’ licks.
