kick back and chill with some sqopij ambience. Chilled strains, plucks and stabs provide the musical blanket
Up n Atom Up n Atom
Words cannot properly express.. Sqopij and Lord Greenskull try. Dedicated to the memory of 815 am August 6th 1945, a song in two halves.
Necessary Evil Necessary Evil
to smoke or not to smoke, that is THE question.. whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of emphysema misfortune.
Reverend Zombie Reverend Zombie
An old fashioned D n B romp from the sqopij archive, mixing beats with riffs n thumps. A paean to the joy of a zombific existence is brought to life through beats, whilst the god channel fills us full of dread, fear, hate and depression...
Kolumbine Harvester Kolumbine Harvester
The rolling b-line commands the feet to tap, whilst the brain comes to terms with the message - maybe our system doesn't work. Kolumbine is not for the faint hearted - Hicks & Mongo paint it like it is with a felt tipped sqopij.

sqopij make beat filled, rhythmic, unusual, thematic electronic music, combined with carefully chosen samples, guitars, & vocals to produce a groove tapestry woven with meaning and depth....
Something different?
not the same.Band/artist history
The weary beard of convention grew long on the face of the inspired, the dimmed razor of invention reluctant to attempt trimming of the conformity moustache. Underneath lay the fresh face of childhood wonder, a throwback to the birth-dream that painted the future road a brilliant potential white.
Tired of unwanted growth, sqopij deigned to remove the hairy badger of truth, lather that weary facial pubis, and shave.
Two years, many anguishes, and more than a few ropey attempts later, The Sqopij have escaped the clumsy shackles of uncertain incompetence and poured forth invention on a multitude of levels. The sonic discovery contained herein may set your foot a tapping... it may encourage regurgitation... it may even bring a smile to your also weary beard... Thricer way, Sqopij are thoughts in notes and beats.Have you performed in front of an audience?live would be interesting, if a little tricky with the current equipment..
Your musical influences
Drops, beats and shifts.. anything where the groove is key.
DJ Shadow, Howie B, Bill Hicks, Chris Morris, John lee Hooker - indirect unconcious influencesWhat equipment do you use?
Inta Audio PC, TerraTec sound card, Ibanez Guitar, few bits n bobs, plug in compressors, limiters etc.Anything else?
Welcome to the Sqopijarium pull up an easy chaise lounge and adjust your temperament.
Any fool can lift samples, overlay textures and insert the expected vocal to offset the electronic tedium combining these same elements with grace, purpose and design, and couple them with more conventional instruments is the way of the Sqopij.
Walking a non stop learning curve, the product of this education is more than just the creative application of a sequencer. Each tune represents a specific intent - each sample chosen carefully to convey the sentiments therein with maximum impact.
If inspiration where the hidden content of a marble block, sqopij are the musical chisel extracting the final sculpture.
