MC and DJ battles have become proponents of their art form, forcing performers behind the mic and turntables to tighten their game into a format that can blow the competition and audiences away in only a few minutes. With music production software available in smaller and smaller packages, laptop musicians have found their own battle ground in the form of laptop battles (aka “death matches”). Under the umbrella of LaptopBattle.org, laptop battles are taking on a national and international scale from the city that claims to have started it all Seattle, WA.

April 27th kicks off episode one of their own version of American Idol, the Teen Idol Laptop Battle Survivor series. Four televised episodes will put contestants head to head chopping up provided samples to devastate opponents and wow crowds with their production and live manipulation skills. For more info on laptop battling check out “the originators” at LaptopBattle.org. Be sure to visit the video archive to see what it’s all about in battles from around the world!
