The Squatters

From the word GO they were set to stars… No this is not just another two seaside guys, this industry has watched the rising of these two talented stars. Their game plan was created by Oliver Portamento & Alex Powell, who have been working together for many years not just as budding DJs but also as successful Promoters, Event Organisers & Producers. Taking influences from sources such as Oldskool Hip Hop & Rave then artfully fusing it with today’s modern House, Electro & more experimental genres such as Dub Step, Drum n’ Bass & even Trance. By cut n’ pasting these together, adding chopped vocals & colossal breakdowns they have created a unique ‘big room’ sound that has closed the ranks between the styles. In which creating the insane heavyweight impact on the dance floor. Strap on your boots! Their productions and remixes have received consistent airing by a countless list of elite radio & club DJ’s as well as other well known DJ’s and radio stations such as BBC Radio 1 - Judge Jules, Kiss100, The Loose Cannons & Galaxy 105 - Riley & Durrant.
