Squadron
being the originators and leading electro music event
organisation in Malta, has played a most important role in
the ever increasing popularity of the so called ‘electro’
sound. Having been involved in the music scene for over 5
years, Squadron events are now definitely the most requested
and respected in this scene. Squadron events have
successfully managed to breed a new era of freaks who were
not interested in dancing to the music which had dominated
the scene for the past years. Squadron provided the means
for these people to listen to all sorts of genres jammed
into one night, ranging from true Electro and Chicago house
music from its purest days, to the better days of
Detroit-techno, mixed in with the less sinister Italo-Disco
sounds of the early 80’s.
Besides bringing innovation in music locally, Squadron has
also managed to fashion their very own unmistakable Squadron
brand artwork, a fusion between classic chic art-deco and
modern vector illustrations. Since their first ever event
back in April 2003, Squadron flyers have been sought after
gems for flyer enthusiasts around the island.

Seeing that
crowds at Squadron events have been on the increase and
having already brought over the crème the la crème of modern
electronic music artists namely Legowelt, Bangkok Impact,
Alden Tyrell, Aux 88, DJ Godfather and Dr.Lektroluv,
Squadron opted to shift their ambitions in 2007, aiming in bringing over legends
from both our era and these past two decades by putting up a
yearly festival, The Squadron Festival, in which one could expect
anything from early Chicago house legends, 80’s Miami Bass/Oldschool
live shows, Classic Detroit techno DJ’s and hard rocking new
era electronic artists inspired by all of the latter!
Following the first edition's success, which attracted over
2.500 partygoers with Marshall Jefferson, Dr.Lektroluv and
Spacid,
Squadron Festival 2008 once again promises to be one of the
most awaited Festival's for 2008, presenting an even bigger
and stronger line-up. No less than 4 International
heavyweight artists will be headlining this year's line-up,
and that being none other than the legendary man behind the
all-time classic track 'Knights of the Jaguar' DJ Rolando,
the true Godfather of Techno Juan Atkins (Model 500) and
Bunker Records' finest Legowelt and Bangkok Impact. |
