Laptop Death Match

This is a cool event in Texas where they get together and battle with laptop performances. It's not really anything new, but they are organizing and performing it in a different way. I think the key to the further progression and popularity of dj/laptop/live PA performance of electronic music is to provide a more interesting show for the patrons to check out. Another interesting thing is that the artists featured on the website only use My Space profiles. It seems that many young artists are using it as their primary web presence. It's funny because My Space can be a little dorky and it's extremely commercial with cheesy ads everywhere, but that's where the traffic is. I probably get more page views there than on my dj site, but I do use it (My Space) to point people to my site to download mixes. Synergy is the goal...
