What is Skweee?

Skweee is a musical style, with origin in Nordic countries Sweden and Finland. Skweee combines simple synth leads and basslines with funk, r'n'b or soul-like rhythms, overall rendering a stripped-down funky sound. The tracks are mostly entirely instrumental, though there are exceptions. 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.

Skweee varies in tempo from 70-120 and is made up of all synthetic sounds. When performed live at skweee parties in Scandinavia, theres rarely dj sets, most of the time they perform it live with hardware synths, drum machines and sequencers.


Skweee and Dubstep

Skweee has during late 2008 and early 2009 started to influence the vibrant Dubstep sound. A thread started on the dubstepforum made the scene aware of skweee. Producers such as Rusko, Gemmy, Joker, Zomby, Rustie, Jamie Vex'd among others, has given their take on the sound resulting in several interesting releases on the boundary between skweee and dubstep.
