WIN! Studio time with Abe Duque

Abe Duque's excellent new long-player 'Don't Be So Mean' has just dropped on Process Recordings - and it's his most full-blooded, diverse offering yet, spanning raw strobe-lit afterhours grooves to melancholic house, via samples of classical composer Debussy over rolling Chicago funk. To celebrate, he's teamed up with DJmag for a rather special competition.

Abe is offering one lucky DJmag reader the chance to spend a day with him in a London studio to learn some of his renowned music production techniques. From seasoned producers with a track that just needs a few finishing touches to give it extra oomph, to new music makers keen to give their tracks a little extra pizzazz, Duque is offering to help budding creators step up their game.

"People ask me all the time about my production techniques on MySpace so I figured why not invite people to the studio to show them how I do it?" explained Duque.

To enter the competition, go to abeduque.net and register for Abe's mailing list. You'll be entered into the competition automatically for a chance to win the studio session with Duque.

Entrants must make their own way to the London studio on a date TBC. Those who want Abe to help them with their own productions will be responsible for bringing all samples and files to the session. Competition closes 30th June.
