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.

Bonus one too. Can’t make up my mind if this is once again those utterly unnec­es­sary “mod­ern­ized” cover ver­sions of 80s good­ness. I like the video though.

Giorgio Moroder (part 2)

January 21st, 2009

Yeah, more about Gior­gio Moroder.

Part 2 exactly. Check out part 1 here.

First I want to present this funky and ever­last­ing disco track called “Get on the funk train” by Munich Machine to you all. It was made by Moroder and Pete Bel­lotte, who formed the band dur­ing the sev­en­ties (at some point, Gary Unwin was a mem­ber also).

Then some­thing else. A promo video clip…

…taken from a Casablanca Records promo tape.”

The quote is taken from YouTube.

By the way, what the hell is his name? The pre­sen­ter on this video… Jack­ass? Jack Ash? What­ever, even NASA can’t match that!

The next one is called “Machines”.

A clas­sic sci-fi hit movie “Metrop­o­lis” was reis­sued 1984 in colour and also gifted with a brand new sound­track! It included two tracks by Moroder called “Machines” and “The leg­end of Baa­bel” among all the other great tracks by such artists as Fred­die Mer­cury and Bon­nie Tyler. Check it out, and the movie also!

The last one is leg­endary “Tears” also by Moroder him­self. I’m sorry about the qual­ity.

Remem­ber also to visit his MySpace to check out some more info and tunes.
