Interview: The Squatters - 'Superfly' Single And Sankeys Gig // Champion Records

Champion Records duo The Squatters (Alex Powell and Oliver Portamento) are to release their next single entitled 'Superfly' on November 15th - be sure to support them by buying the release! Or, why not download a remix of it for free right here? Their glitchy beats and breaks combined with top synth sequences and volcanic bass lines are reverberating through the UK dance scene. Latest single is a fresh take on Dutch house featuring lyrical talents of Dutch Courage, whose vocals turn and bend into rhythmic percussion in true Squatters style.

Enjoy!

*****

How did the Manchester crowd respond to your tunes?

Amazing! Being from the north we kind of relate to the scene alot more and know which of our tunes go off more than others.

Does Sankeys live up to it's "number 1 club in the world" status?

Most definitely - the size is perfect, not too big and not too small. The sound system is amazing with the JBL custom-built Larry Laven bass cab setup (as told by our technician!). The vibe of the venue is living up to the top shelf reputation.

Where do you draw inspiration for your sound?

Our inspiration comes from many avenues such as past events we have played, other inspiring artists, oldschool sounds and even fashions and trends.. As long as it's jump up party style and not deep or depressing.

What can we expect from The Squatters in the near future?

We aim to deliver plenty more tracks like 'Superfly' and 'Drop', which are out this November. Also working on our live performance, incorporating samples and live elements to accompany our DJ set, taking visuals and audio to the next level.

We thank The Squatters and Champion Records and remember 'Superfly' is out November 15th. Buy it!

Peace.
