Eero Johannes-Eero Johannes-2008

Eero Johannes is an electronic music artist from Finland. He released his self-titled LP over two years ago, but I only just recently downloaded it myself. It was recommended to me as a good example of the musical genre Skweee which is supposed to be some kind of "cousin" to dubstep. And if you have spent any amount of time on Dats My Shit, you know how we feel about dubstep.

Skweee is a musical style, with origin in Nordic 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 name refers to the use of vintage synthesizers in the production process, where the aim is to "squeeze out" the most interesting sounds possible... Producers such as Rusko, Gemmy, Joker, Zomby, Rustie, Jamie Vex'd among others, have given their take on the sound resulting in several interesting releases on the boundary between skweee and dubstep.

Skweee FTW!!

I think this shit is hawt.
