Pitting 10 acts against each other for a chance to play at Gottwood festival in Anglesey, this DJ competition has more at stake than a couple of vinyls and a pat on the back. To enter, each act submitted a mix and after being shortlisted, were left to the mercy of the Facebook public with a poll being put up to decide the winner.
At the moment it’s essentially a two horse race, with Atlas and Solus outstripping their nearest rivals by over 1000 votes and so, I’m here to nudge you in the direction of the former (Atlas…if your memory’s really that bad). If you’re one of those “free thinkers” who refuses to blindly adhere to my will, listen to ‘This Is’ and ‘Lights’ and then make a decision. Voting closes tomorrow night, so get over there and vote as soon as your arthritic fingers are limber enough.
It’s hard out there, I know. The recession hit hard and we’re all finding it difficult to afford laminate flooring for our cardboard boxes (or, if you’re really posh, your shed). Despite my extreme poverty, however, I’ve decided to give away a £15 Juno.co.uk voucher to one of you lot, the people who lethargically slump in your chairs day after day reading our inane posts and listening to the music..essentially giving our vacuous lives some meaning.
To enter, all you have to do is Like our Facebook page (if you haven’t already) and post a track you’re currently feeling on our wall. Then, like a hungry cheetah, you’re in the running. Simple.
You’ve got three weeks to enter, so get mobilize those arthritic fingers and get cracking! What are you waiting for?
Right kids, I’m going to keep this brief. Fancy the chance to win tickets to see Randomer, Throwing Snow, Becoming Real, Deft and JJMumbles in a couple of weeks? Good, because I’m going to lay the opportunity right out in front of you like a cheeseboard begging to be ravaged. The architects of such an inspired line-up are the folks behind club night Triangle and, being the philanthropic bunch they are, they’ve given us two pairs of tickets to offer up for grabs. Your grabs. Oh yes indeed.
How to Enter
All you have to do to enter is tweet a link to the this blog post with @boxmusique included and boom, you’ve entered. Winners will be announced a couple of days before, so make sure you’re all crowding round a computer ready to rejoice like happy pilgrims.
Triangle is at The City Arts & Music Project in London on February 10th, head over to the event page on Facebook for more info. The flyer lies after the jump, as does an absolute banger by Throwing Snow.
People may walk past our window and scream “Scrooooge!” while shaking their fists, but we can be generous souls here at Box Musique and to prove it we’re giving away 2 pairs of tickets to Triangle in London on December 2nd. Of course, in reality, it’s the guys over at Triangle who are giving away the tickets and we are merely facilitating such generosity, so don’t give us all the credit…but do give us some.
In terms of the actual event, Hyperdub’s Ossie is headlining proceedings with his blissful brand of organically-inspired house ready to get you moving like a centipede on a trampoline or possibly even a millipede on a trampoline. Alongside him is another purveyor of chilled yet optimistic vibes in Hackman, Take Record’s James Fox and the Triangle resident 2-22′s is the final piece of the beautiful puzzle. Basically, if you’ve got a place in your heart for the deep and groovy, then this is your thing. Or maybe I should change “thing” to “ting” to sound a bit cooler…and maybe not use the word groovy, ever.
How to Enter (In Bold to Save Scanning Time)
To enter all you’ve got to do is head over to that Twitter website and tweet a link to this post with the hashtag #wintriangle included before November 30th and then I’ll sift through all [4] of the entries and pick out one at random. If you’re interested in our ‘random’ method, last time we ran a comp Oldsy wrote everyone’s name on a grape and threw a bowl at me…I caught one in my mouth and BOOM. Winner. We’ll do something similar this time, maybe with knives and a spinning wheel. Why are you still reading this? Enter the damn thing!
Just a little heads up/reminder about the competition we’re running at the moment. The competition that gives us ridiculous bragging rights down at the local tanning salon, the ladies love it. The competition that will close on Monday, March 14th 2011.
1st prize = 2 tickets to see Nicolas Jaar live at fabric, London.
2nd prize = 1 vinyl copy of the Jaar’s superb debut album Space Is Only Noise.
To be in with a chance of winning 2 tickets to see Nicolas Jaar at fabric, simply get on our facebook page, click Discussions and share with us your favourite film with at least 1 dog in it.
In the interest of equality, fairness and sportsmanship, tickets will be pulled out of David’s magic hat, which weirdly enough is a pair of pants. In the interest of variety, spontaneity and latinesque ‘chillwave’ mixes (three of Willem Defoe’s all-time favourite things), here is a Quentin Pistol mix that Clown & Sunset put on their SoundCloud a while back.
That’s right, a double rainbow. Nicolas Jaar will be bringing his live band to fabric on Wednesday 30th March and to celebrate we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away. Do you want some apple pie with all that custard? Because the runner-up will get their hands on a lovely vinyl copy of Jaar’s incredible debut album Space Is Only Noise.
Get involved. To be in with a chance of winning 2 tickets to see Nicolas Jaar at fabric, simply get on our facebook page, click Discussions and share with us your favourite film with at least 1 dog in it.
The winners will be drawn at random; no picking favourites, we just like dogs in films. Tickets are also available to buy from London Electronic and Resident Advisor.
