Everybody Loves Spartan

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 03:35:50 +0000

Finland’s Spartan Lover, formerly PJVM has been one of my favorite skweee producers since the gut moving sub bass of Rubarb Dream first hit my stereo in 2007. Early on, Spartan Lover took skweee into funkier, breakier territory while injecting his trademark moving percussion, and always a bit of grit.

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”. Sweden’s Kool DJ Dust a.k.a. Daniel Savio was the first skweee DJ and its second producer. Like many of the style’s pioneers he had already carved a musical niche for himself when in 2006 he was captured...
