BE-AT.TV is an online global community connecting clubbers and electronic music fans with big-name DJs, venues and festivals.

History

BE-AT.TV was launched in 2008 by Ray Smith and is also known as B@ TV and Be At TV.[1][2] BE-AT.TV is headquartered in London, UK, and has offices in Ibiza, Berlin, and New York and regularly films events across Europe and North America, with multiple crews based in Ibiza every summer.[3]

Content and features

BE-AT.TV primarily broadcasts sets by prominent techno and house artists, as well as other genres across the electronic music spectrum, from some of the world's most famous music festivals and nightclubs. Festivals include Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Winter Music Conference, Amsterdam Dance Event, The BPM Festival, Awakenings, Time Warp, KaZantip, EXIT Festival, Nature One, Mayday, Creamfields, Movement Detroit, Movement Torino, GlobalGathering, Bestival, and many more. Venues include Space Ibiza, Amnesia Ibiza, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Pacha Ibiza, Ministry of Sound in London, Club Space in Miami, and many more.[4]

BE-AT.TV broadcasts consist of high definition, full-length video and audio footage which is shot from multiple camera angles, including exclusive camera access from the DJ booth. The sets are then archived for members to watch on-demand, and can be accessed through any computer or iOS device with a high speed internet connection.

“The best thing about Be At TV is that you will always be one step ahead with the music you are listening to. Be At gives fans the music we are playing, unedited, uninterrupted and with all the interaction between the clubbers and the DJ on the night”- Pete Tong, BBC Radio 1 DJ and MBE

The website combines aspects of social networking, web-based radio and music television. Members can chat with each other during live streams and suggest / share track IDs.

The site's content is free to its users; it is funded by interactive advertising from youth and fashion brands such as Southern Comfort, Ray Ban, Tuborg, and Smirnoff.
