VA - SKWEEE TOOTH


Nowadays, Skweee is all over the place, boiling up everywhere. 

Maybe it's because i'm scandinavian myself, but i can't help to consider "Skweee" to be a rather funny and creative style of music. Someone described it as drunken swedes tryin' to create funk on ancient synthersizers. I find that description lovely. But I would consider listen to any kind of music labeled like that so that's probably saying more about me than about Skweee in general.

If you don't really feel that you know what skweee is and what this is all about, try google it since it's been kind of a phenomena on internet the last years.

The record i'm supposed to write about here is released on one of my favourite lables when it comes to experimental stuff such as wonky hiphop and the darker sides of dubstep. Ramp really puts out a large amount of wicked releases nowadays. If you haven't checked them out yet... do it. On this record, Ramp collabs with the swedish label Flogsta Danshall, which is a wicked combo in my ears!

We find some really classic names from the genre on this LP such as Daniel Savio and Joxaren. But there's also some new people that haven't really got the spotlight on them yet. This and the compliation format makes this a really good starter if you feel to penetrate the genre and don't know where to begin. 

Finally, a BIG up the designer of this record. It's a real eye pleaser!

The music kind of speaks for itself...
