ALL ACCESS

BEYOND THE BARRIERS

Festivals are more than just the music. Festivals are community. Antidotes to the daily mundane. Escapism. Arenas of radical self-expression. A way of being. They're a feeling - and everyone should experience this feeling in their lifetime. So we're levelling the festival fields. Platforming artists whilst bringing the platforms closer to you - we're working to create better access and experiences for marginalised voices.

GALA FESTIVAL

DM's landed at community-focused Gala Festival for a weekend of new music, non-stop atmosphere and one of the UK's most diverse line ups. We teamed up with Sherelle to chat local talent, being an artist in the current festival landscape and for our ticket giveaway competition.

SHERELLE X CRACK

London-born DJ Sherelle is paving the way for a new generation of ravers. Known for her high-energy sets of back-to-back jungle and drum ‘n’ bass, her signature sound is closing the gap between mainstream audiences and underground club culture.

MI AMI FESTIVAL

Epicentre of emerging Italian talent, Mi Ami closes the gap between artists on the rise and the artists on the main stage. We rolled up to the 3-day festival for a long weekend of celebrating new music, inclusivity and self-expression.

COMACOSE

Italian Indie-pop duo Coma_Cose genre-blending sound and futuristic songwriting is making waves across Europe. Forged from a mutual devotion to music and united strength to overcome every setback along the way - they're one to watch.

MELT FESTIVAL

Since 1997, MELT Festival has been a hub for the world’s biggest artists and bands that represent a diverse range of music and culture. During this unparalleled 4-day event, we gave 5 up-and-coming local artists the opportunity to play and make their mark.

THE ALL ACCESS TRUCK

Commandeering a heavy-duty truck for the weekend - we transformed an ex-military eight-wheeler into a platform for the Club Heart Broken Collective, Evin and Ferrari Rot.

BURNING WOMXN

Feminism. Art. Inclusivity. Burning Womxn intentionally makes room for marginalised genders. And for the second year of the festival in Paris, we were their main sponsor. Think warm-up events at our Les Halles store, and DM’s presence all over the festival, including a branded stage for headliner Tracy De Sà.
