Ive given it a go and im not really sure. It sounds kind of like Glitch, a music form ive never really been a fan of. Im sure i will like some stuff but at the moment it just makes me feel uncomfortable.

Will give it a listen at Wigflex but im pretty sure i shall be spending most of my time downstairs.

i love it personally, but can see how it might be a bit of a marmite genre

synthetic funk ftw

it sounds like someone has tried to make dubstep tunes with samples of old playstation games.

like mario.

hmm sort of but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

personally think it sounds more like a more digitised version of g-funk, but with subs as well. either way i think it's great. music needs a bit more fun in it and skweee's got it in spades :)

yeah that beem ones one. was in stock when i ordered it off warpmart but they fucked up my order and by the time they sorted it out it'd gone out of stock. needless to stay i wasn't happy.

other one is rick james is dead by randy barracuda. that's my favourite by far its fucking awesome. there's a really good one on the harmonia scandinavian skweee 12" that sounds a bit like toadstep by cluekid, tis well good :)

I played a weee Skweee set at the last Weight Watchers - im loving the sound

Beem - Mouth Everest can still be found in some European online record stores, as can that Danial Savio, keep on searching, about that Randy Barracuda 7", good luck

they still have that Beem 7" here: http://www.brilliant.nu/disc.php
and the rest here: http://www.snickarsrecords.com/catalog. ... se=flogsta

except Rick James, of course...

Yo Badger - on the topic of having some troubles mixing it... bpm all your tracks. The range is so big on them it really helps, it can be between 70-120 or so bpm... also, alot of the tunes have weird length intros like 12 beats or something like that, cause those guys play the tunes live and dont think about djing when they make 'em...
