| News | The woes of laptop DJing Posted: 09 Aug 2008 10:40 PM CDT Yep, that's a big crack right in the middle of the laptop screen. We saw this Grand Canyon monstrosity at a club in Ibiza, where the DJ was struggling to use Traktor Scratch (haha, it's much more than a scratch mate). "Some fat girl sat on my laptop at an afterparty in Berlin," said the DJ with a sad look on his face. He speaks like a child has been kidnapped. |

| News | Manumission: the most stylish crew in Ibiza? Posted: 09 Aug 2008 03:33 PM CDT One of the idiosyncrasies of Ibiza club nights is that often promoters will parade through the old part of Ibiza Town on the night of their party in order to promote it. Club night Manumission has been doing the street parades longer and better than anyone else. "We paraded every Monday for 12 years through the streets of Ibiza Town, and now we do it every Friday," Manumission's organiser Mike told Beatportal during last night's walk. After the jump check out a video of the Manumission parade! |

| Videos | Video: Pete Tong plays Groove Armada anthem Posted: 09 Aug 2008 02:53 AM CDT Here's a very dimly lit video of Pete Tong playing Groove Armada 'Superstylin'' at a secret beach party in Ibiza. The dance track has to be one of the best ever house anthems and no matter how many times I hear it, I'll never get bored of it. Watch this video on Beatportal.com |

Jeff Samuel, renowned American producer of fine minimal techno, is about to embark on a much-anticipated North American tour this month. From his studio in Berlin today Jeff shared with Beatport some of the highlights of the tour. |
| Videos | Forget CD and vinyl! Rip it up on the decks - cassette decks, that is! Posted: 08 Aug 2008 11:05 PM CDT Music is a wonderful thing when you think about it, and I am amazed at what people are willing to learn in order to express themselves.
