Title:	Dirty Bomb
Label:	FLOGSTA DANSHALL (SWEDEN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	FD 001LP

"Daniel Savio's (and Flogsta's) first solo LP. Dirty Bomb and it's a 10 song all skweee album on vinyl. 2009 predicted will be The Year of the Skweee, The man who coined the name 'skweee.' Sweden's Kool DJ Dust aka Daniel Savio was the first skweee DJ and its second producer. 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. So its a dream come true for me.. I have been working on it for a couple of years. So 2009 will be hectic, skweee-alistic and funky fresh!'"

Artist:	RANDY BARRACUDA
Title:	Randy Barracuda
Label:	FLOGSTA DANSHALL (SWEDEN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$25.00
Catalog #:	FD 002LP

"Zap! The white horse of spastic computer funk and synthesized Scandinavian Afro-minimalism is back to burn! Randy Barracuda, best known as a member of the legendary electro bass outfit Imatran Voima and as one of the pioneers of the Skweee-movement, releases his solo-album after a decade of wait! Starkly named long-play is Barracuda's homage for his key influences: '80s analogue synthesizer funk, romantic modern soul and drugged out cosmic psychedelia. The musical spectrum of the album varies from the anthemic screeching of 'Ketamine Strut' and 'Skweee Like A Pig' to melancholic spacey moods of 'Hungry For Another Touch' and 'Love Axe/Heavy Metal.' Guest starring Michael Black Electro as 'the voice.' But, enough advertising now. (As Leonard Bernstein said: 'The joy of music should never be interrupted by a commercial.')"

Artist:	RIGAS DEN ANDRE
Title:	Guilty Feet, No Rhythm
Label:	FLOGSTA DANSHALL (SWEDEN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$25.00
Catalog #:	FD 003LP

"What's wrong with Rigas den Andre? He's young, gifted and comes from a well-respected noble family and still his music speaks the ancient mournful language of the rocky Swedish archipelago. Because of this, RDA could be easily dubbed as the meister of melancholic electronic party music. Or 'blue funk' as the exact term should be in my opinion. Take my word and dive in to the sea of emotions provided by RDA's new album Guilty Feet, No Rhythm. I promise you confusion. Take a journey through the depressing digital funk of 'No Heaven' or reach for the joyous synthesizer excursions of 'W.A.S.P.' or 'Go, Rangers, Go!'.And don't forget to boogaloo to the epic title track which sounds like Timbalandand Björn Ulvaeus had a son. Because, in the end RDA's music is like life itself: Gloomy, mournful, slow, but oh so funky!"

Artist:	MANGROVE
Title:	Angry Animals/Mental Metronome
Label:	FLOGSTA DANSHALL (SWEDEN)
Format:	7"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	FD 010EP

"Created by only a few dozen Nordic producers, the skweee movement is the lost offspring of Mantronix and P-Funk. This handful of futurist beatsmiths have been spreading their gospel underground for a couple of years now, collecting props from the likes of Kode9, Rob Da Bank & Mary Anne Hobbs, attracting the attention of The Wire & hosting their own stage at legendary Sonar festival. Skweee, so named because of its 'squeezed' sound, lollops & lurks within the 77-105bpm sonic abyss, introducing vintage synths to leftfield drum programming in an all-electro love-in. Much like dubstep in it's youth, skweee courts a variety of collaborators and still treads an untouched path. Emerging from the electro fuzz we have skweee's major players, Flogsta Danshall. Monophonic distorted funky thug-skweee from Stockholm-based artist Mangrove. These titles are extremely limited."
