The Munich Laptop Battle is an anual electronica music event held in Munich, Germany. Digital Poetry Slam. Dub, Ambient, Electro Punk, Experimental Electronica Noises, Techno, Weird Beats. No genre at all.
Eight contestants will battle each other in three rounds, pushing their laptops and controllers to their very max. Blowin' the speakers. Only one will survive. Jury will decide who.
But even though it's a tight game, well, fun, electronic music and the party are the main reasons why we're doing it. Plus, the Munich Laptop Battle provides a plattform for sharing ideas and experiences and making new contacts. (We hear one of our 1st battle artists actually got signed on our first battle in 2005.)
First held in 2005 the Munich Laptop Battle is one of the very first battles in europe, one of the very first events to spread the idea of competitive electronica music slams overseas. We're cooperating with US battle teams such as the Mid Atlantic Laptop Battle and Laptopbattle.Org as well as teams in Germany, Bulgaria and UK.
