So we hear that Brooklyn suddenly has one of New York’s best sound systems at that new spot Output. And as such, we couldn’t think of a better introduction to the borough’s very own Cielo than a “too future” set from DJ Shadow. To win a pair of VIP tickets to tomorrow’s show, read the interview below and keep your eyes locked on our Twitter page. We’ll be asking a question related to the story sometime today and passing on the passes to the first person with the right answer.

Good luck!

CONTEST: Win Limited Vinyl and Concert Tickets From John Maus

Now that our new issue is finally out, we’d like to celebrate its release alongside John Maus’ latest LP, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. Maus is in town to play three shows this week, including an Other Music in-store at 8 and two stops with Puro Instinct. We’ve got a pair of tickets for his Glasslands gig later tonight. If you want them, E-mail our editor the answer to the following question: What kind of animal is staring at our writer and John near the end of his cover story? Since he’s got nothing better to do, he’ll randomly select a winner this afternoon.

For those of you who don’t live in New York, we’ve got two hand-numbered copies of Maus’ album; one will be given away via our Facebook page, and the other will be distributed through our Twitter account. Since we miss the days of sitting next to our radio, waiting to win Metallica tickets, both of those will be announced at random points over the next couple days. You’ll be given a little bit of time to answer questions there, too, so don’t panic!

In the meantime, let us know what you think of the issue and spread the word if you can!

Remix Zombi and Score a Pro Soundcloud Account, Limited Vinyl, and More

May 13th, 2011 | File Under: Contests | 11 comments

As longtime fans of Zombi—including the myriad solo tracks of synth cadet Steve Moore and drummer Anthony Paterra—we’re proud to present a remix contest tied to their new Escape Velocity record. Here’s what Moore had to say about it…

“Sometimes in the middle of the night, I think of something that’s funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen’s too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain’t funny.” —Mitch Hedberg

This sums up the way I write music. I feel weird even taking credit for writing this song; it was just running through my head one night. So I don’t have any insight into what it means or anything, it’s just the product of a random firing of synapses. I got the title from an episode of Radiolab I heard on NPR about how memories are formed.

Good luck with the remix. All styles are welcome, but if you really want to get our attention, I recommend taking it in a New Jack Swing or Shep Pettibone-style ’90s house direction…
