DIESEL:U:MUSIC 2009
SIGN UP! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!

Since 2001, Diesel has been seeking and promoting new music talent. A competition headed by an international jury, and offering incredible publicity support and worldwide exposure has rocketed many bands to stardom, including Mylo, Diplo and The Cool Kids among others.

In 2009, DIESEL:U:MUSIC is back – and it’s bigger than ever – with new incentives and effective platforms to support the music business and unknown talents.



DIESEL:U:MUSIC is… 

A SOCIAL MUSIC NETWORK

Discover, download and share tracks from a rapidly expanding international community of the best new music artists. Popular music rises as the community decides what they like most, and users influence which artists will get additional support from the many benefits and opportunities on offer. Musicians, no matter what their music style get a platform to host their music, promote news and events and connect with existing and new fans from a vast international music hungry community.

AN INTERNATIONAL TOUR

D:U:M is unique in offering two artists or bands the opportunity to headline their own international tour. Not just a chance to play live in front of thousands, but also to travel to some of the most important cities around the world. Oh, and not to mention be supported by some very well known, established artists! WANT TO GO ON TOUR??? Simply make a prodile and then upload a minimum of three tracks to your profile on Diesel:U:Music. All artists with the minimum amount of uploaded tracks on June 5th will be eligible for consideration.

The winning acts chosen to join the tour will be selected by an international jury of highly respected musicians and music industry representatives.

One of the tour dates of the D:U:M tour will be BEIJING and we're hoping that more musicians/bands sign up on Diesel:U:Music and win the chance to really represent the music scene here in Asia on an international scale! Spread the word!

A NO RULES RADIO STATION

No rules radio. Broadcasting live from our London studio to both online, mobile-web listeners and to Diesel stores worldwide. Free from commercial playlists, we play what we want, when we want. Traveling the world to attend music festivals, interview the best bands (signed and unsigned alike), featuring the best music submitted to the community, and bringing you exclusive tracks. Additionally you can stream our specially curated mixes or download the podcast.

MAKING MUSICIANS MONTHLY MUSIC PROMO VIDEOS

We are committed to providing as many other benefits for artists to help give you more tools to get heard. Each month one artist will be selected to receive a music promo video. There are opportunities to play at other Diesel events, to prizes and rewards we manage to blag from other companies.

INDEPENDENT

We are motivated by our own genuine passion for music. Nothing more. Nothing less.

PASSIONATE & CONNECTED

D:U:M has strong friendships with some of the most talented artists, labels, radio stations, journalists, producers. All committed to supporting new music. While some of you may want to go it alone, we also want to give you the chance to open doors and get one step closer to industry experts that could help give you the recognition they deserve.

You define what Diesel:U:Music is and what it will become.

Last Friday, Hong Kong hosted the Cut&Paste digital design tournament at the China Resources building in Wan Chai. The competition was fierce and MC Gold Mountain did a spectacular job MCing the event, decked out in our 55DSL spring/summer '09 gear!

55DSL was there in full force as the global sponsor and we had a great time! We had our very own 2D Audience Design Contest, where we set up Apple computers and let people design their own 55DSL "Fifth Dimension" t-shirt graphic. The global winner of the ADC competition gets an all expense paid trip to NYC to see the Cut&Paste global championships on June 20th AND a unique chance to design the next 55DSL x Yoox.com Capsule Collection (all the details here).

We also had a VERY special and EXCLUSIVE treat for our HONG KONG audience! We held the very first 55DSL “I Want My Señor Blanco” contest at this year's Cut&Paste. We gave the audience a "hands on" chance to work on their own design for our Señor Blanco toy. And then we had a free lucky draw for entering and also free instant photos! The turnout was amazing! We had people sitting on the floor, using their friend's backs as a tables...it was so fun! (Look Below)
