I was asked to play at Lazy Sunday, an irregular internet streaming event. It took place yesterday and consisted of 12 hours of music and visuals from all over the world.

It was a new experience for me and quite odd to play to people I couldn't see. Anyway, I played a short set. It included some tracks which are also on the Breakbeat Hardcore mixtapes I've already released, as well as a few new (to me) tracks.

1. Dance Conspiracy: Dub War (XL 1992)
2. Nu-Matic: Hard Times (XL 1992)
3. Nebula II: Atheama (Reinforced 1991)
4. Kaotic Chemistry:LSD (Moving Shadow 1992)
5. Lennie De Ice: We Are i.e. (i.e. records/Reel 2 Reel Productions 1991)
6. Criminal Minds: The Criminal (White House 1992)

8. Bizzy B: Slow Jam (White House 1993)
9. K9: Crazy Bad Bwoy (Section 5 1993)

Here's a mix of some of my favourite electronic music by Finnish artists from the past few years, featuring tracks by moonlighting Helsinki tram driver Jaakko Eino Kalevi, fantastically-named DJ Candle In The Wind (who's done some great mix CD's), Uusi Fantasia (from their eclectic debut album), and Aavikko, self-confessed synthy loonies, plus a lot more. Labels include German Freundinnen and Norway's Tellé, but all the other labels, such as the legendary Rikos, long-established Stupido, and newer labels like New Judas, are from Finland.

The title means 'Finnish electronic music', but the word-for-word translation is 'machinemusic', which I think is better :)

I don't think enough people around the world have heard the good stuff coming out of Finland, so I want to spread it about.



Jaakko Eino Kalevi: Popcorn Party (Helmi Levyt 2007)
Mesak: Yksin Ojan Pohjaa (Flamongo Samoojat 2007)
Sexy Jeks and Tits: Danke (Helmi Levyt 2007)
Uusi Fantasia: (Tosi) Happamat Kallot (Tellé 2004)

Ercola: Miljoona Valovuotta (Flamongo Samoojat 2007)
Motiivi: Tuntematon: 1939 (Freundinnen 2005)
Megatron: Trans Galaxic (Flamongo Samoojat 2008)
Downtown: Breathe In, Breathe Out (New Judas/Top Billin Music 2008)
Itäväylä: Black Diamond Express (Jori Hulkkonen Remix) (Rikos Records 2004)
Les Gillettes: Send In The Clowns (New Judas/Top Billin Music 2008)

I'm afraid this is the last skweee mix for a while, as I've now used all my favourite skweee vinyl. The good news is that each mix contains different tunes to the others, so they should serve as a comprehensive introduction to the wonky world of skweee.

The tunes on this mix were released by the main skweee labels Harmönia (Finland) and Flogsta Danshall (Sweden), as well as Finland-based labels Huge Bass and GAEA. Mighty Robot Recordings from Scotland and Planet µ (the first English label to release skweee) also feature on this mix.

Please please support these pioneering labels and (more importantly) the artists. Skweee is available in CD, vinyl and downloadable formats.

1. V.C.: Skweee On

2. Randy Barracuda: Shock The Plankton

3. Markis Sage: The Mad Processor

4. Mesak: Big In Japan (303 Reggae Mix)

5. Eero Johannes: We Could Be Skweeeroes

6. Beem: Mouth Everest

7. Eero Johannes: Leisi Elli

8. Uday: Ghetto Bomb

13. Beem: The Famous

14. Joxaren: LIHOP

Here's another instalment of that electrofunky stuttery simple music called Skweee. That's spelt with 3 e's people, don't forget! This new vinyl-only Skweeemix includes some releases from last year and a couple from this year.

Most of the tracks featured in the mix were released on the two main Skweee-oriented labels (Flogsta Danshall from Sweden and Harmönia from Finland). The debut releases of two newish labels, Temporarily Morons and Eden Hashish Center, are also in the mix. Huge Bass, an established Finnish label, features too.

Most of these tunes were produced in Finland and Sweden, but there are tracks from skweee-ers from England (Metske), and France (Wankers United) in this mix too.

There'll be another, slightly more uptempo Skweeemix from me at some stage, hopefully in less than a year this time....
1. Markis Sage: Two City Clash (Temporarily Morons)
2. Spartan Lover: Sabre (Harmönia)
3. VC: Standart (Harmönia)
4. Rigas Den Andre: No Class (Flogsta Danshall)

I did this for my own nostalgic enjoyment really. It's just a compilation of some of my favourite tunes from this era, concentrating on classic UK hardcore labels. As usual, no beatmixing, and scratchy old records to boot.

"There are some solid tunes in these unmixes. I highly recommend giving them a listen. Although do so at your own expense. These old mixes always tend to hit the pocket book down the road. So much music and so little money to by it all!"- Trevor Wilkes

If you don't like Skweee, you won't like it.
If you like Skweee you might like it.
If you don't know what Skweee is you might find out.
..and as usual, if you're expecting beatmixing, well, you won't find it here
