LAPTOP BATTLE UK is a new style of music event, featuring 8 producers, 3 judges, 2 VJs, and an MC. The focus is on showcasing new experimental music, not rivalry.
The producers are paired up at random and entered into an elimination style laptop music battle. The producers are given 3 minutes slots to influence to crowd and the judges with their chosen sounds. The winner of each round will move up through the table to eventuate as Laptop Battle champion!
The idea behind the event is to push the envelope of live manipulation of self-composed electronic music. Therefore the "judges will be looking for originality, composition, improvisation, live manipulation and performance". Technical craftsmanship needs to be partnered with the ability to generate a positive crowd response.

Bristol Battle 5 : DEFAZED
London Battle 1 : RANDOMOIDZ
Bristol Battle 4 : THE FEZ
Bristol Battle 3 : HEADPHOBE & DEFAZED
