Berlin Calling to have independent North American premiere separate from TIFF

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Amanda Connon-Unda

What a shock! After successful premieres at both the Lacarno International Film Festival and the Hamburg Film Festival this summer, on Sunday, September 7th the film Berlin Calling will be have its North American premiere in a parallel independent screening at the same time that the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) takes place.

However, much to the surprise of people who’ve had the pleasure of pre-screening the film (myself included), Berlin Calling was not selected to be part of the official TIFF.

Among all of the top ranking new and sometimes previously award-winning films that make it to the TIFF drawing board, it’s a very tough selection process that the films go through before they arrive on the official TIFF program.

Top Track: Search and Destroy ‘Candyfloss’ (Toasty Remix)

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Caleb Rakes

Hotflush Recordings has become synonymous with releasing more experimental broken beats, and is a label not to be pigeonholed at any rate.

So in standard tradition comes the latest release, a track beautifully textured in sounds, with hallowed beats and stabbing snare crashes.

It evolves the original 2-step track into something not only more contemporised but deep and beautiful.

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Lee Smith

Now, a new study of over 36,000 people undertaken by the UK’s Herriot-Watt University has found that fans of certain types of music often exhibit similar characteristics.

According to the research, dance fans - like the famous ‘Techno Viking’, pictured above - tend to be outgoing, creative, and “not gentle”.

Section: Music News Topics: Technology
Written by: francispreve

Independent software developer, the cryptically named Rovenskij, recently released an official version of his IR-909 software beatbox for the iPhone.

IR-909 is a unique specimen in that it’s a rather faithful recreation of the Roland TR series of drum machines, right down to its linear display of each drum’s pattern.

What’s more, the IR-909 also includes a selection of Roland drum kits that can be further customized by the user.
