Skweee

I couldn't imagine anyone getting gigs playing this stuff out, it's too slow for most standard house/techno dancefloors, and the palette of sounds is too harsh and metallic for just sitting-around early evening kind of events. I would love to hear it on a night out tho, personally.

I'm support dj for a dj/rupture gig in Bristol next month. I might drop a few Skwee tunes for a laff...

Depending on howj open minded your crowd is, you may be plesantly suprised at how well it goes over. When I played that JAM set I posted they were eating up every minute of it (if you listen close, you can hear people cheering in the background through MC LD's open mic). I threw the hip hop in there to kinda soften the skweee-blow, but I dont think it was needed. The following month at our next installment of JAM I got requests for more Skweee! The whole crowd was at least head-nodding, and most people were dancin and getting down. The best part was a bunch of the crowd had just wandered in off the street. I was really suprised how it went off tbh, even the cats in the back playing pool were groovin'. No matter the pallette of sounds, funk cannot be denied, and that shit is funky!

Dont underestimate the Skweee, my friends, I feel its about to get bigger than sk(we)ee all thought it would. ;)

i listened to the mix lissajou posted last night, i like it. i dont really think there is any need for a new genre name or anything though. also i would like to hear it mixed in a grime-ish sort of way, clashing tunes off each other would work brilliantly with this, i think.

Not knocking what you said, but how do you mean 'clashing tunes off each other'? As a dj I dont ever think that sounds good. Could you give me a grime mix that kinda illustrates what you mean? Ive heard some grime mixes, but I guess not enough to get what you mean by that...

Oh, and theres a few other Skweee mixes posted in this thread too... ;)

clashing tunes off each other can be amazing, it just requires perfect selection and careful timing.

I love the computer game sounds, and the early 80s synth funk basslines in Skwee. Anybody can point me to sound/sample sources for this style, i cant be arsed to by an amiga ... ;)

I like it, it reminds me of Spacepimp

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Spacepimp

and I'd certainly like ot hear it out. I can totally see norms dancing to it, it's dumb enough. That's a compliment!

F$%£ I sold that spacepimp record on Clear earlier this year, I never knew it was Acen! It is kind of similar to skwee though I agree.

The skwee I've heard off this thread so far reminds me of this.

Reminds me as well of a group called Team Doyobi, though their stuff was a lot less danceable, more manic and noisy. Sometimes they would drop a few bars of video game funk, though.

can you recommend any of those? That Spacepimp trcak is seriously one of my favourite things ever and it'd be good to hear stuff in a similar vein, I never really followed Clear except for that track.
