Artist: Mesak
Album: School of Mesak
Label: Harmönia Records

Mesak has been putting out music since early 2000 but sadly enough I haven’t been much into the Finnish electronic music scene since a year or two when I got familiar with the genre Skweee which Mesak belongs to. Mesak is also one of the two persons behind the Skweee label Harmönia Records (the other one being “Randy Barracuda”) which has release stuff since 2006.

School of Mesak is from what I’ve understood Mesak’s first full length album and it contains 8 really good tracks. As his fellow Skweee colleges Mesak’s sound is a bit dirty, mid paced and funky. The album was release in January 2010 so it might be a bit old but I still think there’s a lot of people out there who haven’t heard it yet.

All and all a really good album that I encourage you all to take a listen to.

Limonious – House of Usher
Label: Flogsta Danshall

Limonious is a Swedish Skweee artist also know as Pavan and Uday, he’s also a member of the projects Vakttornet and Wizards of DOS as well and the owner of the label Flogsta Danshall. A busy man indeed.

I don’t know how well known the genre Skweee is around the globe but the artist mainly hails from Scandinavia even though the music has started to pave its way through Europe. The genre is know for it’s less than perfect sound and by today’s standard is might come of as a bit “under produced”. It’s a bit “dirty”, rugged, the use of old analogue synths is very common. Another thing that is kind of typical for Skweee is the length of the tracks which usually ends up around 3 min which is kind of short when it comes to electronic music and Skweee tunes a kind of pop/rock feeling to them.

All of the things I described above can be said about the the 8 very good track featured on “House of House”(the track “Swizz Pommak” is my favorite).

Take a listen to the track below and keep you eyes on Flogsta Danshall in the future.
