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.
