FREEBIE FRIDAY: HIT THE DECKS

Here's one way to start the party: Win a copy of DJ Hero.

There are three ways to learn how to DJ:

Read On The Record, the how-to guide by NYLON’s own Luke Crisell.

Become best friends with Samantha Ronson.

Win this week’s Freebie Friday.

If the third option sounds easiest, you’re in luck: We’re giving away a copy of DJ Hero, the brand new game from the makers of Guitar Hero.

Just like the ax-wielding version, DJ Hero promises to turn even the clumsiest of partiers into a turntable wiz. You’ll master crossfading, sampling, and scratching, all while playing songs by everyone from Daft Punk to Gwen Stefani.

We’ve got one Playstation 3 version of DJ Hero sitting in our office, but not for long—for a chance to win, just enter your contact info here. Then ponder whether you’d rather play Grandmaster Flash or DJ Shadow while you’re standing behind the decks.
