PCM is pleased to offer 1 lucky winner the chance to win an incredible Steve Aoki prize pack that includes a copy of his newly released “Wonderland” album and 1 pair of AMP Sol Republic headphones!
A little about Steve Aoki and his new album ” Wonderland”:
Arguably no producer has done more to raise the international profile of Los Angeles in underground electronic music circles than STEVE AOKI. Now, Wonderland Avenue, the infamous street high up in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, may soon gain notoriety for something new: the world’s most unlikely road where some of America’s most beloved recent electronic music has been made thanks to the producer and DJ who named his debut studio album WONDERLAND. Fans can purchase WONDERLAND via iTunes’ here: http://www.smarturl.it/steveaokiwonderland.
A milestone in his extensive career as an industry entrepreneur, DJ and producer, WONDERLAND showcases “all the different kinds of production sounds I can do,” says the globe-trotting DJ. “This album is a spectrum of music that influences me.” The debut artist LP is weighted with new standout singles that may well see AOKI break into U.S. pop charts—now that the scene he helped build in America has crept into mainstream pop radio channels with a sound leaning heavily on dance music. Hailed by Darren Ressler of Big Shot (1/4/2012) as one of the top Dance/Electronic Music Albums To Look For In 2012—“Dim Mak label boss Steve Aoki connects with the likes of Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Travis Barker, LMFAO, CSS, and Kid Cudi to craft this highly anticipated electro-flavored artist album laden with a pop-punk sensibility.”—it includes deep house pleaser “Heartbreaker” with CSS singer Lovefoxxx and “Cudi the Kid” featuring none other than Kid Cudi and Travis Barker.
WONDERLAND is far from your average dance music collection of singles, however. The record bristles with fresh-sounding collaborations beyond club jams that light up VIP sections from Moscow to Miami. “Anyone who knows anything about punk knows The Exploited,” says AOKI of one of WONDERLAND’s more unique offerings “The Kids Will Have Their Say,” which features members of legendary punk bands The Exploited and Die Kreuzen as well as Dutch producer Sickboy. Rap gets a big look too with AOKI’s collaboration with Chiddy Bang and Lil Jon called “Emergency,” as well as AOKI’s new song with chart-toppers LMFAO, “Livin’ My Love” which contains a special message for jealous haters and also features wonder duo NERVO. AOKI later enlists [[[zuper blahq]]], the stage name of Black Eyed Peas mastermind will.i.am, for “Dangerous,” a follow up to their hit single “I’m In the House.”
The bonus track version of the album features previously released tunes, including “Misfits” with Travis Barker, who AOKI calls “the best drummer in the world.” This iTunes-exclusive package also includesthe tracks “Turbulence” with Lil Jon and Laidback Luke—which emerged as one of 2011’s bigger anthems at large-scale dance events from the massive Tomorrowland tothe annual Ultra Music Festival—and “No Beef” with Afrojack, which hit #1 on Beatport.
To support WONDERLAND, AOKI is launching his biggest tour ever: ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK PRESENTS DIM MAK’S DEADMEAT TOUR 2012 powered by Sol Republic, set to travel across North America throughout winter 2012 and visit some of the most renowned theaters and concert arenas, including the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, the Fillmore in Denver, Boston’s House of Blues, Montreal’s Metropolis and New York City’s legendary Roseland Ballroom. For the DEADMEAT Tour, AOKI will partner with dubstep’s hottest new producer and Dim Mak label mate Datsik. He’ll also appear at Beyond Wonderland in Southern California on March 17 and Ultra Music Festivalin Miami on March 25.

PCM is offering one lucky winner the chance to win an incredible merch pack from Awaken The Empire! The merch pack includes a poster, CD, sticker, pick, and t-shirt!
Be sure to include your full name and mailing address! Contest open to all entries and winners will be chosen at random!
Awaken the Empire consists of Damien Lawson (Vocals, Guitar, Programming), Jaymz Marcc (Bass), Daryl Falconer (Drums), and Shivan (Guitar). Their sound is best described as a post-apocalyptic soundtrack to the future…but Awaken the Empire is much more than a band, it is a movement for the people. A call to action to wake up..to break free of society’s expectations, and to not be afraid of risking it all for the chance to control ones own destiny.
Last month the band debuted it’s much anticipated video for “The Awakening” on AOL Music. The video was directed by Chad Michael Ward (Combi-Christ, Aiden).
On November 29 in North America and December 5 internationally, EMI Music launched an extensive campaign honoring the legacy of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS by reissuing the iconic alternative band’s first two albums–GISH(1991) and SIAMESE DREAM (1993), certified platinum and 4X platinum respectively–in CD, deluxe 2CD/DVD, vinyl LP, and digital configurations. Both albums, each with bonus content and special features that were curated from the band’s archives by founding member Billy Corgan, have been painstakingly remastered for the first time from the original master tapes by Bob Ludwig.
With the full support and guidance from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS–who’ve created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history, selling over 30 million albums–EMI’s global catalog reissue campaign will last through 2013; it will encompass all the band’s albums and B-sides from 1991-2000, with other release dates to be announced. The pivotal group’s many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation. Gishhighlights include “I Am One,” “Siva” and “Rhinoceros,” while Siamese Dream features “Cherub Rock,” “Today” and “Disarm.” Both groundbreaking albums were produced by Butch Vig and Billy Corgan.
As THE SMASHING PUMPKINS get the fully remastered treatment via these reissues, the band is excited to be moving forward by creating new music. After touring America and Europe this fall–the trek launched October 5 in Los Angeles and wraps December 8 in Lisbon–they will release OCEANIA, “an album within an album,” as part of their in-progress 44-song work TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE. Featuring 13 new songs, OCEANIA will be released in early 2012 (further details TBA).
PCM has your chance to win a Gish box set and one limited edition lithograph in support of the reissue!
The winter finale of Psych airs Wednesday, December 14th, at 10 PM EST on USA Network.
Calling all Psych-O’s once again! We have another opportunity for you to win an incredible prize from Psych and USA Network. No, seriously, it could be better than the Psych snuggie… then, again, we’ve heard it both ways. Two lucky winners will walk home with some of the craziest swag we’ve seen: one wins a Psych toaster, the other a Psych skateboard.
It’s good news and bad that we’re running this contest considering we’re using it as a tactic to lessen the blow we will all feel when the winter finale of Psych, airing December 14th at 10 PM on USA comes and goes.
In the spirit of celebrating the series, rather than thinking of what will take that Wednesday night slot in our TV schedules until the fan-favorite series returns in February/March 2012, we want you to reminisce on some of your favorite moments over the course of the show. Specifically, we want to know your favorite Lassie moments! (The man behind the character, Tim Omundson, will be live chatting with fans during the finale on USA Character Chatter, so we’re just getting you to think about Lassie a bit earlier!)
That’s right! To enter this contest, all you have to do is share your Lassie love with us by including your favorite Lassie moment from the course of the show. Between his hatred of squirrels (and Shawn), his one-liners, his quasi-vampire lover and those occasional bouts of tenderness like when he consoled Jules after she was hooked up to the clock-tower, there are plenty of examples of why we love Detective Carlton Lassiter. So click the link below and tell us yours to enter for a chance to win a skateboard or a toaster!
But because we feel your pain on having to part with Psych for the next month or two, we want to give you an additional entry into the contest via twitter. Follow us on twitter (@pcmtweet) and tweet “@pcmtweet I’m #PSYCH-O for Lassie because _______ #LassieChat http://bit.ly/PsychChttr” and fill in the blank with your reason for Lassie love and you can get a second entry to win one of these incredible prizes!!
So, don’t be the iiiiiiiiiit in wait for iiiiiiiiiit and enter already!
The prize was provided by USA Network, but USA Network is not a sponsor, administrator, or involved in any other way with this giveaway. Contest open to US residents only.
Please include your name and address in your entry. Winner will be chosen at random from valid entries.
