| From the ashes of the Soviet empire, from the flames of history, rises PROXY. Post 9/11 rave vibes cloaked in Muscovite angst. A line drawn in smoking rubble along the border dividing East and West, Stüssy and Stasi. Beware of the Russian Bear! For the past 3 years his tracks have dominated dance-floors all across the globe, right now there's nothing out that can really keep up with his dark, massive sound. With huge hits "Raven" and "Dancing In The Dark" being dropped by the likes of Moby, Justice, Boys Noize, The Bloody Beetroots, Felix Da Housecat, Les Petits Pilous and Vitalic, he has the whole electro scene behind him. The Proxy from Tiga's Turbo Records will be headlining Squadron Festival 2010, which will also mark his first ever appearance in Malta. |

Respected and acknowledged around the World as one of the three Detroit Techno innovators, Kevin Saunderson is a legend in his own right, who has reshaped the future of Dance music as we know it!
Kevin was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1964, but moved at the age of nine to the place known as the 'Motor City', Detroit. He attended Belleville High School, where his youthful urge to make music had been fuelled as he befriended two other like-minded students Juan Atkins and Derrick May. Starting out as a DJ, Kevin soon developed new skills that led him into producing records, which he released on his own label, KMS Records. The demand for Kevin as a Producer and DJ was overwhelming overseas, as well as in the States. |

| It’s a hot summer’s night, in the late 1980s, somewhere around the Southern most fringes of Europe. The people of the Isle of Malta are sleeping soundly. A walkman, a couple of mixtapes, Jovanotti, Jackson, and Moroder are keeping Jon and Jay awake. They simultaneously wonder why monsters from space always and only attack Japan, whether they would ever get their own holographic computer synergy, and what it would be like to experience a giant flying disc-otheque landing over one of the lethargic towns of their homeland. Some years later in 2006, Jon is playing bass guitar, whilst Jay is playing synthesizers. The two meet, and jam to a drum break, together for the first time. The resultant sound is a fusion of dance floor funk, disco and techno – a mix which the two could only, naturally, call plonk. |

| The small Mediterranean Island of Malta is known for its history, views, and pristine beaches. Of late, it has also been gaining a reputation for sweaty kids donning tight jeans, big hair, and face paint, bouncing off the walls (and each other) in mosh pits, within its numerous clubs. The phenomenon is what the Islanders have affectionately been defining as the "Squeak Effect". Since '08, Squeak's 'Acid to Disco to Techno' sets have proven to be eclectic, tight, and have become a bright neon highlight on the Island's disco-rockers' schedule. He has so far played alongside Brodinski, Shameboy, D.I.M., Sound Of Stereo, Dr. Lektroluv, One Man Party, Robotnick and Mathematikal. He has moulded and defined an own identity, an own style, and an own sound. Kids, get ready for the groove, get your best dance floor sneakers on - Squeak is here to stay. |

| Playing restlessly all over Malta since 2004, Manthrax is without a doubt the ‘go to guy’ when it comes to proper non compromising techno sets. Getting interested into electronic music at just 11 years old meant that Manthrax was playing regularly to numerous crowds at just 15 years in events such as Cubik, Disorder, Squadron, Body Machine and Fused. Nowadays he also runs his own event organisation - Disorder, where he shared the stage with artists such as Neil Landstrumm, Pacou, Space DJz, Alexander Robotnick, Dave Tarrida, Savas Pascalidis, Surgeon and many more. Today the 'minimal’ and ‘tech-house’ waves seem to be sweeping dancefloors all over Europe, yet Manthrax remains true to his very first influences. |
