Squat PartyA squat party is an illegal club or party that takes place either in a building broken into for the party or an already existing squat. They are usually advertised either by word of mouth and flyers handed out at other similar events or through phone lines set up by the sound system(s) organising the event. This is for security reasons, since the organisers don't want the authorities finding out about them and trying to stop them. Squat parties are typically either free or charge a small donation on the door, typically the organisers try and cover costs through selling alcohol inside. Most squat parties usually run for over 24 hours - they finish when the organisers have had enough or if they are shut down by police. The type of music played at squat parties is usually of the underground variety; genres of music that aren't popular enough to be commercially viable are common at parties. Typical music would be techno, gabba, jungle, drum and bass, punk rock and/or reggae.
