Skweee in Spin Magazine

Barra Barra Barracuda!

Randy Barracuda is one of the pioneers of skweee as well as one half of electro outfit Imatran Voima, BLAH BLAH BLAH, you know all that. What’s more important for our purposes here is that he is one hell of a raconteur who gives great interview. If you’re not goosed by what you read below [...]

He Called It Skweee

Our first post of 2009, which genre founder Pavan has boldly predicted will be The Year of the Skweee, is fittingly an interview with the man who coined the name “skweee”. Sweden’s Kool DJ Dust a.k.a. Daniel Savio was the first skweee DJ and its second producer. Like many of the style’s pioneers he had [...]

The Man Like Mesak

Many fans got their first introduction to skweee on Museum of Future Sound, Flogsta Danshall’s seminal compilation, and the first ever skweee release on compact disc. In one of the great “you had me at hello” moments in electronic music, MoFS kicks off with Mesak’s “Popkumm”, a delicious and irresistible slice of jiggery funk that [...]

MC Skweee

If there is a ‘voice of skweee’ it likely belongs to Oxnard, California based rapper Pubs Panseno. Pubs P has been rhyming over skweee beats almost since the birth of the genre. He’s collaborated with many of the scene’s standard bearers including Rigas den Andre, Mesak, Randy Barracuda, Boys of Caligula, PJVM, Slow Hand Motem, [...]

The Mysterious Mrs. Qeada

One of the most unique and unusual talents in the skweee scene belongs to the Swedish producer with the strange handle – Mrs. Qeada. Besides landing spots on Harmönia’s International Skweee and the new Museum of Future Sound 2 on Flogsta Danshall, Mrs. Qeada has released a quite stunning EP, the dreamlike Supercomputer.

new skweee releases!

“We should have our own skweee awards” said a poster on Nation of Skweee.
“Every skweee record is an award!” said another.
Indeed. And two lovely new skweee awards — both on limited edition seven inch vinyl, are newly available. The new Markis Sage single is the debut skweee release and ninth overall on Mesak’s Huge Bass [...]
