Skweee combines simple synth/chiptune leads and basslines with funk, R&B or soul-like rhythms, overall rendering a stripped-down funky sound.
The name refers to the use of analog synthesizers in the production process, where the aim is to "squeeze out" the most interesting sounds possible.
Norwegian Dødpop, Canadian Ancient Robot,[5] US Losonofono,[6] US Titched, US Poisonous Gases, Spanish Lo Fi Funk, Finnish Mässy,[7] and French Mazout have since been added to this family.
[citation needed] The increasing notability of the skweee genre has resulted in releases such as the Eero Johannes album on Planet Mu.
[8][9] Producers such as Rusko, Gemmy, Joker, Zomby, and Rustie have given their take on the sound, resulting in several releases on the boundary between skweee and dubstep.
