Synthetik Skandinavian Funk

Skweee is a musical style, with origin in Scandinavian 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 current producers are both newcomers and old, experienced producers from the scandinavian Electro (music) and Electronica environment.

Community sites such as MySpace and Nation of Skweee, has played a major role in the distribution of Skweee-music, as well as the general public exposure. The major outlets of Skweee-music are Swedish record label Flogsta Danshall and Finnish record label Harmönia. The preferred media format of skweee enthusiasts is the 7"-vinyl record. So far all releases has been on this format - However a CD compilation and a 12"-vinyl record compilation, are set for release on Flogsta Danshall and Harmönia respectively. These releases are probably good opportunities for newcomers to get into the music.
