How does this site change the site location?

http://www.beatport.com

How are they doing that?

They are changing the url in the browser without using hash like # characters and stuff like that. And without refreshing, just ajax :|

The URLs look like normal URLs, you can go from the homepage directly to http://www.beatport.com/genre/psy-trance/13 without page refresh

They're probably leveraging the HTML 5 History API.

Correcting my previous answer, see Modify the URL without reloading the page. See the second answer.
