One of our favourite labels, Mute, celebrate their legacy this weekend at the Roundhouse with a series of live events as part of the Short Circuit festival.
They've created some lovely shiny new merchandise exclusively for the event and, as luck would have it, have given us a whole bundle for one of you lucky people to win.
To be in with the chance of getting your hands on the whole amazing bundle (pictured above, including exclusive tshirts, bags and enamel badges) simply share your favourite song released by Mute records by posting below, on facebook or via twitter using the hashtag #mutesc (and including @drownedinsound).
As for the event itself, well, you'll be able to buy all of the exclusive Mute goodies while you are there and catch some of Mute's newest signings performing - Beth Jeans Houghton, Big Deal, S.C.U.M and Josh T. Pearson - as well as witnessing some very special collaborations and catching up with some established Mute artists, such as Liars, Moby, Komputer, Erasure and Cabaret Voltaire (Richard H Kirk).
