D:U:M unites musicians and music fans through an extensive series of on and off-line initiatives.
Creating opportunities to discover the best in new music, and providing musicians with a platform of tangible support, to help them get heard and promote themselves.
Founded in 2001 as a yearly unsigned music talent awards, D:U:M has since evolved into an international market space for new music.
While we love the web, we are also committed to developing real world tools to help support musicians.
This year sees the introduction of an international tour, where two winners plucked from the community will get to play their own events across three continents in many major global cities, a web radio station and a benefits program that will see at least 12 bands receive a music promo video.
A SOCIAL MUSIC NETWORK
Discover, download and share tracks from a rapidly expanding international community of the 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.
