Blockparty 2009 was a total success. Virt won both the main music competition with his track Lorem Ipsum (to be added here shortly), and the oldschool music competition. And as if that wasn't enough, he also wrote the soundtrack for the winning demo by Northern Dragons and Brainstorm. All in all: three 1st places and total Blockparty ownage. Congratulations, sir Virt!
For those of you who go to Blockparty, watch out for our weirdest goat of all: Virt. He'll come to whoop your asses at Blockparty which starts today, April 16, lasting until Sunday April 19. To be continued.
We are home from Breakpoint (well okay, some of us are still travelling today), tired but happy. Our PC demo Roadside Picnic ranked 2nd in the (admittedly horrible) PC demo competition. But since everyone else didn't seem to get their demos finished, we grabbed the opportunity to finally make the top 3 at Breakpoint, which feels good nevertheless. Congrats to Preacher, Ivy, Mantraz, Parsec and Bit Arts. Also, the ZINE #14 Headlines, a collaboration between Conspiracy and Brainstorm, were released and ranked 8th in the demo competition.
As far as music competitions go, DJ Joge scored 2nd place in the Executable Music Oldschool competition. And Romeo Knight won the Streaming Music competition with a fabulous track that he performed live at the concert on the previous evening along with Xerxes and Bendik.
Furthermore we entered the Amiga demo compo with a little production about our 20th Anniversary which is this year. It ranked 8th.

Thanks to all organizers of Breakpoint for yet another wonderful event.
Now we gotta go - our next demo awaits.
