LAPTOP BATTLE 7

LAPTOP BATTLE UK returns to Bristol on Saturday 28 November.






8 more laptop music producers battle it out for the title of Laptop Battle champion!
Producers get paired up at random at the start of the night and are entered into head-to-head bouts.
The winners from each battle progress into the next round until 2 producers are left in the final.

Producers are restricted to using a laptop computer, an external soundcard and a controller device.
The 3 judges are looking at production skills, live manipulation and crowd response.

So get down to The Croft and shout for your favourite producer.

1 MAN ARMY RECORDS comin'back at u in 2009!

Anyone noticed things ain't been happening on this website for a while?

Label manager, Simon1manarmy has spent the last year designing and launching a new Foundation Degree in Creative Audio Technology for Bournemouth University, while holding down a full-time lecturing post.

Yeah, so 1 Man Army Records has been pretty quiet this past year.

This has to change!

1 Man Army Records will be releasing some all new material in the summer of 2009 and linking up again with the Laptop Battle UK crew to put on some new shows in Autumn 2009. Time to get the show back on the road!

Time to rally the troops.

Like a phoenix rising from the smoldering embers...




from under a pale grey sky we shall arise.

A random email from a fan in Texas, USA

Hi my name is Alex and Im from Austin Tx, USA.
I stumbled upon a video featuring Headphobe in a laptop battle on
youtube. Then i checked out your website, 1 man army records and I was blown
away.

Right now its streaming Defazed - Trip to Bihjan and this shit is
ridiculously amazing.
I just wanted to say that your record label is a great inspiration and
it makes me dream of a better life.
I have attached a track which I had to do for my final project in my
Remixing class at my community college.
It's not even in the same league as that of the gifted producers'
tracks on this label but it is my most complete electronic effort up
to this point in my life.
Listening to 1 man army records makes me want to devote the rest of my
life to making better music.
The collective efforts of everyone in your crew is a beautiful thing
that brings tears of joy to my eyes.
This email is really in vain because I just want to have some sort of
contact with the people responsible for such a great thing in this
world at this point in time.
In my opinion, you guys are the best thing that is happening in the
world, spiritually and in all other aspects of existence.
You are making the music that I dream of making.
You guys are the real thing.
I just wish I could be a part of something like that.
Thanks,
Alex
