As Far As We're Aware BTR8ION Is The First Album Produced Entirely On PSP.

Check it out. We knew Beaterator was cool when we reviewed it, but we never expected anyone to actually record and produce a full album-esque mixtape on the thing. But that’s totally what DJ Kiva has done, using his PSP to loops samples and beats on his record BTR8ION. You can listen to the mixtape here, it’s actually pretty cool.

PushSquare’s very own Sammy had a go at mixing his own tune in Beaterator late last year. You can check that out here if you want a better idea of what the platform can do.

Hi, I’m Sammy Barker. I write for PushSquare.com but I also try to make music in my spare time (check out Sammy’s “single” Gin & Tonic here/iTunes). As an experienced amateur music producer – I say experienced because I spend most of my time getting angry that nothing sounds right – I really wanted to give Rockstar’s Beaterator a go.
