A couple of dj producers stirring dancefloors with the stonking tracks and remixes....
From the word go they were set to be stars… Over the last few years the industry has seen the rising of not just another two guys from the seaside! The game plan was created by Oliver Portamento & Alex Powell, who have been working together for many years not just as DJs but also as successful Promoters, Event Organisers & Producers. Taking influences from Oldskool Hip Hop & Rave then 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 which makes a heavyweight impact on the dance floor.
There productions & remixes have received consistant airing by BBC Radio 1’s Judge Jules, Kiss100s The Loose Cannons & Galaxy 105s Riley & Durrant as well as support from a countless list of elite radio & club DJs.
With over 15 years djing experience between them. They have both graced some of the worlds rarest clubs, events, warehouses & festivals such as Global Underground, Ministry Of Sound (London), Mixmag Warehouse, Afterparty Castle Party, Electrik Playground, Privilege (Ibiza) & Reclaim The Dance Floor (Voted Mixmag’s 1 Night Worldwide) at Eden (Ibiza) alongside some of the worlds biggest artists including Tiesto, 2ManyDJs, Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out, The Scratch Perverts, Utah Saints, Fake Blood, Jack Beats, Dave Spoon, Riley & Durrant & Doorly.
Currently The Squatters are working hard on new productions & remixes whilst performing international DJ sets as a duo, also doing justice alongside vocalist & beat boxer Dutch Courage in there new live show. Taking tracks from the forthcoming album set to be released in 2010.
