Update: This contest has ended. The winner was selected randomly by the gleam.io engine, and paid.

New Momu Album, and Arturia Softsynth Giveaway

By

On March 1

In Contests, Electronic Music

Mark Musselman and I have a new Momu album coming out March 20th (March 6th Beatport Exclusive) on Loöq Records.

Loöq Records is giving away a copy of the incredible Analog Lab softsynth from Arturia to help promote the album. You can enter the contest by following Momu on Spotify, joining the Loöq Records mailing list, following Loöq Records on Twitter, etc.

The contest is running on Gleam, an Australian marketing and promotion company co-founded by Stuart McKeown, who I just learned is a Momu and progressive breaks fan from back in the day. I emailed tech support about a small issue and got an email back from Stuart himself, noting that he heard our tracks Donner Pass and Sunsicle on Jon Lisle’s Bedrock Brighton mix in 2002, and that he owns our remix of Jamie Stevens – The Night Before on vinyl. Small world!

This contest is now closed. Congrats to the winner Matt Bolger from La Mesa, California!

Momu — MOVE is now available on Beatport (currently charting #23 in Breaks) and will soon be in general release.

“The Icelandic Cure” Book Contest (Decode Your DNA)

By

On May 15

In Contests, Writing

To celebrate the release of my first book in print, I’m giving away a prize to a random purchaser of my novelette “The Icelandic Cure.”

Since the story is about genetic engineering, I thought a DNA-related prize would be appropriate.

The Prize

One 23andMe Health + Ancestry Kit (retail price $199)
or
$150 cash (if you’ve already gotten your 23andMe results, or don’t want them)

The Rules

Contest rules are simple:

  1. Purchase “The Icelandic Cure” on amazon.com, directly from Omnidawn, or anywhere else.
  2. Follow me on Twitter and DM me a proof of purchase (a screenshot of your email receipt, a picture of the book on your coffee table, etc.). Or, if you don’t use Twitter, email the proof of purchase to jd_moyer at looq.com. Either way is fine.
  3. To double your chances of winning, share this post with your followers on Twitter and tag me AND/OR leave a review on amazon or goodreads and send me a link to the review. So far the book only has one review on each site, so reviews are especially appreciated!

The contest will run until June 15, 2018. I’ll announce the winner and award the prize by June 22nd.

I don’t directly profit from sales of the book–I won the 2016 Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction prize which granted a flat fee prize of $1000. But I’d still like to do what I can to boost sales and promote the story.

This is a strong, thoughtful story that inspires hope for the future, curiosity about medical progress, and sheer terror at what might be done in its name.—Publishers Weekly

Thank you, and good luck!
