Here comes the full version of We Call It Skweee!!!
-A film about music, people and scandinavia
by Iacopo Patierno and David Giese
"It's basic elements, like love, dancing,
and sine-waves."
-Eero Johannes
In early 2008, the Italian filmmaker Iacopo Patierno arrived in Stockholm to assist Erik
Gandini on his film "Videocracy". While in Sweden he discovered the quirky scandinavian
electro style Skweee and befriended some of its practitioners.
Patierno became fascinated with the music as well as the
determination and individuality of the artists involved. Camera in hand, he decided to
follow some of the central Skweee artists for a year, starting in the functionalist Stockholm
suburbs, traversing the Baltic to Helsinki, and eventually tripping down to Barcelona's
legendary Sonar festival, where eight Swedish and Finnish artists were invited to
represent the scene.
"The film is a foreigner's view on a sub-culture
that in many ways mirrors what my understanding is
of what it means to be Scandinavian",
says Patierno.
Participating artists: Randy Barracuda, Eero Johannes, Daniel Savio, Joxaren,
Pavan, Mesak, Rigas den Andre, S.L.A and others.
If you read the description so far we'd like to thank you very much, David will sing you a personal song and Iacopo will cook you a lasagna

Our first post of 2009, which genre founder Pavan has boldly predicted will be The Year of the Skweee, is fittingly an interview with the man who coined the name skweee. Swedens Kool DJ Dust a.k.a. Daniel Savio was the first skweee DJ and its second producer. Like many of the styles pioneers he had already carved a musical niche for himself when in 2006 he was captured by the vision of Pavan to chart a new direction and sound.
Skweeelicious: Lets begin with your pre-skweee days. What sorts of music were you producing and DJing?
Daniel Savio: I have been DJing since the mid-nineties and buying records since my early childhood. It all goes back to my love for hip hop music and culture. Graffiti was my main thing but I also had some attempts to rap and dance (crazy fake breaking). So hip hop I would say is my main influence and when I started DJing it was all about hip hop. But early on I was curious about the old school breaks/originals/samples so from that I got into funk, soul, disco, rock and of course the early electro stuff like Kraftwerk and Arthur Baker, Paul Hardcastle, etc, etc.
On the production tip I bought an ASR10 on my 18th birthday and started sampling loops and stuff. Ive always been heavy into crate digging. I had a Fostex 4-track and recorded some raps. Later on me and my friend Mighty Thor (Drumcode etc) who was very much into house and techno started to DJ together at a local joint. I discovered that much of his house stuff was based on old rhythms and grooves from the disco stuff I had, and he opened my eyes to contemporary dance music which I understood in a deeper meaning was an extension of hip hop music. So with the understanding that house and techno was in fact hip hop, me and Mighty Thor started making music together. We did a white label 12 inch in 99 and later went on to form the trio Hundarna Fran Soder releasing two albums (one of which received a Grammy in 2004) and some EPs and 12?s until 2006.

(7,163 posts)Which is why the Kratt brothers chose that species for theit preschool-aimed series.
In fact, all lemurs are so cute that now that we know them, it's hard to believe how they got their name - Roman solders in Managascar didn't see them, but could only hear their cries in the night - which sounded to the Romans like angry ghosts - "lemures."

(27,293 posts)The good news: No major problems
The bad news: many of us (including me) are sick.
We are a total of 15, so far 6 of us have come down with an upper respiratory thing that is not Covid (thankfully).
So far, I think I am the hardest hit in that I've been bed ridden since Saturday afternoon, so almost 24 hours now.
I could possibly be more functional if I had to be, but I want to make sure I give myself plenty of rest, so I'm taking no chances on this day off.
Probably going to take another nap now.
Hope all is well back in the USA.
(Loved the "Hansel and Grendel!!)
