Paris-London-Mannheim: French artist duo Soul G & Tony Match and Mole Listening Pearls announced today they have teamed with London digital music company Digimpro to use the new di music format to enhance their new track for online downloads.
Soul G & Tony Match electro groovy track ‘Eros’ featuring Danish chanteuse Anne Charlotte Struve (liv) comes with the new di music player that gives fans the ability to edit and personalise tracks using alternative, original material that is also included with the track, and resave them as MP3 files. The scope of the alternative materials is unlimited, with Soul G & Tony Match providing a number of alternative vocals, drums and base tracks.
Far beyond traditional remix software and music formats, di also allows for real time and randomly generated remixes using these alternative tracks. Available for both download and CD sales, the di player can produce almost infinite variations and works on PC and MAC and can be resaved as MP3 files for playing on digital music players.
The tracks are available to purchase on www.digimpro.com and via selected online retailers and is included as a bonus track on the artist new album ‘Round trip 2 Tokyo’.
Tony Match said “di format is simply futuristic ! a great opportunity to come into a music score..enjoy this revolution!’’
Soul G and Tony Match’s German record label Mole Listening Pearls expects the inclusion of di to give the listener and fan more musical experience and interaction that could significantly boost sales volumes.
Rupert Evans, Managing Director of Digimpro, the developer and owner of di, said the idea came from the need for a new kind of format that was for all artists and music fans.
“The computer age has given us the ability to listen to music in exciting and sophisticated new ways. So far this potential has been largely untapped, but the di format brings these new possibilities to life in a really simple way for artists and fans alike,” Evans said.
“di offers artists new creative possibilities and enables the music industry to use a new format to drive sales. We are in discussions with a number of other labels and we’re confident di will become a standard inclusion on major single releases and add significant value to digital downloads,” he said.
