Electronic trickster Daedelus will go the Lynyrd Skynyrd route on January 22 with the release of his first live album, Live at Low End Theory, on Alpha Pup.

To celebrate the release, he's holding "Daedelus' Alive for You Contest". The rules and prize up for grabs are like this:

"Each contestant can choose up to 10 favorite Daedelus tracks for Daedelus to create a custom mix CD using his signature piece of equipment, the Monome. People can sign up for the contest on Daedelus' MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/daedelusdarling beginning on the official album release date, Tuesday, January 22. The contest will last two weeks, ending on February 5. One lucky winner will be randomly chosen."

Daedelus will showcase his live skills on a handful of North American and French dates he has in the coming months, starting with a January 16 set at the same Low End Theory club in L.A. where he recorded the new album.
