every genre is being bastardised / innovated..thats a good thing...no point in discussing the ins and outs of it.

I agree there. I was just a little confused that people seemed to distance Skweee so much from Hip-Hop. To the point of saying it does not contain any Hip-Hop elements.

i hope you're not talking about me there because i said nothing of the sort

anyway leaving this alone now, this discussion is just distracting from the music

can't say i agree at all. unlike hiphop, skweee is not sample-based. the grooves tend to be a lot more off-kilter. really the tempo is about the only thing that's the same.

Eitherway, don't get all Montel, it's just a conversation. And I've found it quite interesting.

well the main aspects of hip hop are widely accepted being DJing/beat making, rapping, graffiti, breakancing/B boying - which i was arguing aren't particularly prevalent in skweee, and they're certainly not the basis of the music

and this is clearly saying that skweee doesn't contain any elements of hip hop

badger wrote:i'm not disagreeing that it's sonically similar because it clearly is.

anyway i'm not going to bother with this any more (and i mean it this time

). i'm not trying to distance skweee from hip hop because i love both of them; i'm just saying they aren't the same, because they aren't.

Some Skwee in stock at Redeye, you'll find it in the new Leftfield/Hip Hop section.

It's the first wave of a new direction for us along with a club/bmore section, there is not too much in stock just yet but we are on the case and will be picking whatever we can.

Any thoughts I'd be interested to hear.

Have a good weekend.

Cheers, Tom.

I'll whole heartedly say this is the first time i have listened to or even heard the term Skweee.

Edit: A lot of what i was going to say has been exhausted. I will say having looked into the genre albeit not indepth the comparisons Skweee's drawing are inevitable.

SKWEEE
