Ever wandered how to propose the wide variety of quality music offered by independent music labels on a mobile screen? Well at MuLiMob we do.

(*)

The MuLiMob Networking Event tries to stimulate discussion between Independent Music Labels and the Mobile Industry in order to support the music and artists you cannot find on commercial radio stations, thereby enhancing multilingual and multicultural diversity.

The whole sentence may sound a bit complicated but to us - with RandomOne we are partner in this project - it is of a vital need to start discussing the subject. All major record labels, such as Universal Records, EMI and SONY BMG, have vast resources to deploy and capitalise on the Mobile Music opportunity. Independent Labels and their artists are not represented and current consumer offerings are now biased towards ‘Top 50’ commercial hits.

Music diversity and multicultural representation is being compromised. MuLiMob, supported by the European Commission, have collaborated with the Association of Independent Music (AIM) to host this event with the view to aid discussion between the industry sectors in a fun and relaxed environment.

The FREE event takes place in London, UK on Wednesday November 30. Check here for details, you can also download the program pdf.
