I first heard of this sub-genre of a sub-genre (possibly of a sub-genre) in late 2008/early 2009 on what has now become the ego mess that is dubstepforum. Without really pursuing it, Skweee kept peeking around the metaphorical corner and winking at me. When Rusko released a Skweee remix of Kotchy, I honestly dismissed the style fairly quickly.
not so into that one to be fair...
However, recently I have been watching skweee pop up in my internet meanderings again, and I thought it only fair to give it a real digital whirl. To my happy surprise, skweee is really fucking awesome. Everything I like about fruitbeat is in it, and in addition, some nordic funky analogue sounding synthesizer shit that sounds like dam funk wrapped up in several giant jackets sitting cosily by a fire in fucking Scandinavia or something similar. (NB : Czech dis shit out)
Well, after that little jaunt down adjective avenue, here comes the kicker.
Listen to the shit out of this badboy...if gypsies made funk it would sound something like this I think. Best of all, that wee package is utterly free. Who new post-dubstep could be so enlightening!
More linkies and information come from 'ere and old uncle google too.
For a lovely introduction piece, have a read of this little morsel from The Guardian.
And now for something not completely off topic - it is about Scandinavia - but what may be the newest low for reality TV...
