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.

Roskow & Dj Runex – 1983 (MP3 – 320kbps – 32:37min – 74,66Mb)

Finally got down and listened this through, and oh boy, isn’t it just the way I like ‘em to be! Rap/electro/electro-funk with some boogie & freestyle cuts thrown in seamlessly. All from the 80s – and to be exact from 1983. Expect drum machines, synthesizers, and serious grooves. Kudos to Ionik of Traveller Records & Kojak Giant Sounds blog who uploaded this gem originally.

What needs to be said? Part 1 stays more to garage and deeper vocal house while part 2 has more of those rawer Chicago house sounds and some driving disco. To download click the downwards arrow on the right side of the box. Big thanks to Rico Passerini for uploading these live dj sets. Lots of others to be found on his Soundcloud page.

Timmo – Finnish UG Deep Vol. 1 [Platinum.ac Deep Techno] (320k, 113MB, 49:42 min)

Here’s the story – finnish internetz forum Platinum used to be pretty much number one for some electronic music back in the days. Don’t know about nowdays. So, this Timmo guy of a dj decided to make a mix out of “deeper techno” demo tunes he had collected from Platinum forum during the years 2000-2003. So here you go, all finnish music.

Oh and never mind the last mix between tunes by Akrid and Harrison Fnord, Serato going mental probably because of dust on the needle.

Special mix by dzei. It’s finally getting colder and darker so what we need is deep, minimal but melodic soundtrack. Personally I’m very satisfied with the outcome of this mix. Hope that’ll you enjoy it too. Tracklist below.
