Skeewiff is a British electronic music act, known for their eclectic and vibrant fusion of styles including funk, breakbeat, swing, and soul, with a hefty dose of cheeky humor and kitsch. The group was formed in the mid-1990s by Alex Rizzo and Elliot Ireland after they met in a London studio. Both had backgrounds in music production and a shared love for vintage sounds and modern beats, which led to the distinctive Skeewiff sound that has gained them a loyal fan base.
Skeewiff's approach to music is characterized by their sampling of classic genres and the clever integration of these samples into contemporary electronic frameworks, often resulting in tracks that are both familiar and fresh. Their catalog showcases a deft ability to traverse musical eras and styles with ease. Titles like "Wack Wack" and "The Cat" demonstrate their love for retro grooves, while their take on the iconic "Misirlou" exemplifies their knack for reimagining classic tunes for today's audiences. Collaborations with historic labels, as seen in "Skeewiff vs. KPM," further cement their reputation for bridging the gap between the past and the present. Always ready to get listeners moving, Skeewiff continues to create music that is both innovative and infectiously danceable, as is evident in tracks like "Put Your Hands Together" and their lively rendition of "Mexican Flyer / Delta Dawn."
