We’ve got 5 copies of DJ Coshmar’s ‘Concrete or Abstract’ break and instrumental record to give away.

You may remember Coshmar, who we featured a while back on the site (back when we were rocking the old school look and site). Back then we announced he was working on the ‘Concrete or Abstract’ project which will be his second solo LP featuring a host of French MCs over his own scratch built compositions.

Ahead of the release of the album in late 06, ‘Concrete or Abstract’ was released on vinyl, regrouping 5 instrumentals from the LP alongside a bunch of samples and sentences for you to practice with.

We hooked up with Coshmar over the recent PLASA/DMC/Gong Battle weekend and he was kind enough to give us 5 copies to give away. Read on for the full competition details.

For those of you in France you can also check a new magazine focused on DJ and turntablist culture entitled Star Wax, which was started and is edited by Coshmar. A laudable effort, especially considering how harsh publishing can be and how niche the turntablist scene is at the best of times in recent years. Still that doesn’t seem to have stopped Coshmar who debuted Star Wax earlier this year with features on BNN and DJ Revolution and a CD with over 10 Dj/tablist tracks. The next issue, number 2 will be out in the next two months and you can find more on the magazine and its distribution on www.compos-it.net.

Finally (Coshmar’s been a very busy man)he is also involved with Stream Box, a hip hop tv show broadcast on French satellite TV and on the net at www.streambox-tv.com, where you can also check previous shows.

Be sure to check Coshmar’s website for more on the man and his many projects. And in the meantime check the competition details to get your hands on a copy of the new vinyl.

Concrete or Abstract competition

The 5 copies of Concrete or Abstract will be handed out as follows: 2 sets of 2 copies each and one set of 1 copy. So that means 3 winners, with the 2 winners of the double pack behind decided at random from the 3 winners. To be in with a chance all you’ve got to do is reply to the following question by 20th October:

Which French DJ won the 2006 DMC World Championships title in London last month?

Send in your answers to laurent at turntableradio . com (complete the address yourself as I want to avoid receiving more spam than I already do) by the 20th of October with your address and details. Winners will be picked at random from the correct answers and contacted within 3 days of the deadline.

Good luck and look out for tracks from Coshmar’s album on forthcoming Turntable Radio podcasts.
