A few of his tracks like promised land, life on life, out of my hands and my direction were all updated from his hypasonic allias. Ill admit that they were better updates. I can remember hearing the hypasonic remix of promised land and it was very similar besides the riff which was shocking.
I seem to remember there was a bit of a hoo-ha about one of his remixes being absolutely identical to the original, just with the bpm increased and nothing else done to it. Hardly the crime of the century, the styles were similar enough to get away with that and a lot of people were time stretching tracks to fit hardcore anyway (myself included).

Squad-e was my favourite producer when he first came onto the scene around 2006. He was great for about 2 years then slowly started to decline as a producer for me - He had a very simple formula for making tunes and once that got boring he was found out. Even his new tunes (whilst much better than some of the crap he was making a couple of years ago) sound similar to his older stuff.
On a positive note, My direction will always be one of my favourite tunes.
Also, his remixes were almost always better than the tunes he wrote himself under the Squad-E alias.
Where Re-Con would mostly draw influence from House/Electro music when making his Hardcore, Squad-E would do the same but with Bounce House tunes and, like you say, after a couple of years it became common knowledge that Squad-E tunes weren't exactly Squad-E tunes.

Unsure if I should dampen the mood of this thread, but I'm curious: does anyone have any info on his alleged triple-booking tonight. It sounds off personally, as I can't seem to find anything else public today that he's playing at:

Due to Squad-e triple booking him self he has unfortunately canceled the booking.

maybe that's why he has been so emotionally drained recently, he has been spending his time making multiple tulpas of himself to play many gigs at the same time!

It's better to keep it positive though. I for one hope he gets better and produces the quality we know he can
I couldn't give a fcuk about squad-e anymore to be honest. He is not an artist that I want to support in any way after his recent behaviour regardless of the quality he produces from now on - which, lets face it, isn't exactly groundbreaking going by the most recent tunes I've heard. He clearly has mental issues which can be forgiven, but he's also shown himself up to be a complete dickhead.
Squad-E losing the plot again
