Squell

Music has always been a defining part of Krisztián Ötvös’s life—known by his artist name, Squell—serving as an inexhaustible source of relaxation and inspiration. However, in 2008, a new chapter began for him: he was no longer just a listener but started collecting and playing music as well. Over the years, he explored various styles, journeying from the soft harmonies of deep house to the energetic beats of techno, all while searching for his own musical identity. Today, he has found the world where he truly feels at home: the enchanting realm of organic house. The magic of live instruments and beautiful melodies brought him closer to a sound that truly resonates with him. Each chord and rhythm evokes new emotions, allowing him to delve deeper into the layers of music. Throughout his musical career, Squell has ventured into multiple areas. From organizing parties and performing at clubs and open-air events across Hungary to hosting radio shows (he previously had his own show on the renowned Prime FM in his home country) and working in the studio as a core member of the Miskolc-based Rezidencia studio, his journey has been rich with experiences. He has played alongside numerous renowned producers at various events, yet he has always had a special fondness for the warm-up role. This part of a performance is particularly close to his heart, as his soft, organic style perfectly complements the opening moments of an event, setting the tone for the night ahead. Currently, he is primarily focused on his own series, which he launched in October 2023 under the name Dreamcast, an exclusive music podcast on SoundCloud. The show unveils the magical world of organic house, featuring Squell’s own sets alongside an increasing number of guest artists. The number of episodes varies each month, but staying true to the genre remains the core principle of every release. For him, music is not just a collection of sounds—it is the embodiment of fulfillment, emotion, and passion. Music has captured him forever, and he is certain that it will remain his lifelong devotion.
