I'M BETTER OF WITHOUT MY "T"
When i created this blog i was in a bad mood or something because by no reason at all I put a T in the word "weighs".
Can't really explain that...
I've noticed that most people spells my blog name wrong (right) and even links to that particular name so i decided to switch over to a correctly spelled blog name.
My new adress is the same as before, but without the dyslectic T!
http://www.myvinylweighsaton.blogspot.com
I moved over my archive there, so there's no real difference.
Peace out (last time with the T)

VA - SKWEEE TOOTH
Nowadays, Skweee is all over the place, boiling up everywhere.
Maybe it's because i'm scandinavian myself, but i can't help to consider "Skweee" to be a rather funny and creative style of music. Someone described it as drunken swedes tryin' to create funk on ancient synthersizers. I find that description lovely. But I would consider listen to any kind of music labeled like that so that's probably saying more about me than about Skweee in general.
If you don't really feel that you know what skweee is and what this is all about, try google it since it's been kind of a phenomena on internet the last years.
The record i'm supposed to write about here is released on one of my favourite lables when it comes to experimental stuff such as wonky hiphop and the darker sides of dubstep. Ramp really puts out a large amount of wicked releases nowadays. If you haven't checked them out yet... do it.
We find some really classic names from the genre on this LP such as Daniel Savio and Joxaren. But there's also some new people that haven't really got the spotlight on them yet. This and the compliation format makes this a really good starter if you feel to penetrate the genre and don't know where to begin.
Finally, a BIG up the designer of this record. It's a real eye pleaser!
The music kind of speaks for itself...

FLOATING POINTS - LOVE ME LIKE THIS (2009)
It's been a while. It scares me how little vinyl there is in the part of this world where i've spent my last four months. So i've spent the last weeks compensating for my musical loss with purchasing unhealthy amounts of black plastic discs. Hopefully i'm back on track soon, but i'll have to write about some really interesting releases from the past month or so...
First out, this incredible 12" by a really promising producer called Floating Points. We've heard some tunes from him in the past on different shows and podcasts but now he has started to release his tracks on wax.
Look out for the coming releases from this guy, and also do check out his 7" called "For You" released earlier this year.
Floating Points want to share the main track on this 12" with us, so he's made it downloadable on his soundcloud page.
I you haven't heard it yet, prepare for some mellow action on the synth over a massive 80's tune...
