Are there any McCain electronic music supporters out there?

Posted: 26 Oct 2008 03:58 PM CDT

We here at Beatportal don't do politics, nor are we about to start. But with this whole Presidential Election going on we've received a ton of Obama-supporting DJ mixes and singles, but not a pip squeek from the McCain camp. We decided not to repost any of these mixes until we had received some McCain sponsored mixes and tracks in order to remain fair, but up until this point we've received nothing. Absolutely diddly squat. Which beggars the question: Are there any McCain-supporting electronic music fans out there? Have any of you been inspired enough to create music or mixes based around McCain's speeches? If you've got any linkage to electronic music-related McCain tracks or mixes please do share. Note: this is not a chance to get all political on our ass, we just want the links, thank you.

Hand your demos to Pete Tong tonight!

Posted: 25 Oct 2008 05:34 PM CDT

Pete Tong is currently on tour in North America, and being the ambassador of dance music that he is, he's running his very own Simon Cowell-type talent search called Tong Factor. The concept is simple enough - come down to one of his gigs in the next couple of weeks and hand him your demos on a CD or USB stick. Pete will then listen to every single demo submitted to him, and he'll release the best ones on a brand new digital label on Beatport after his tour. Where is Pete Tong playing tonight?
