# A Nation of Skweee Even though the name sounds like another weird genre invention to generate some digital hype, it's not. **Skweee** is actually the name of an obscure genre mix-up of funk, r'n'b, hip-hop and all kinds of freaky 80ies electro sounds and newer glitchy sounds. There has never been a huge blog hype around skwee and the musical style has been around for a few years already, yet it's influence is becoming ever more pervasive. Maybe that has something to do with skweee's origin in the cold (and cool) north like Sweden and Finnland. We don't know. What we do know is that some of the finest Skweee artists will be in Vienna on Friday night and they will surely make sure you will have one of your best nights out this year. And, if you still have no clue on what kind of music you can expect tonight, listen to this dope track by **Melkeveien & Sagtann**.
