publications and record labels coming together for the same cause. With the Diesel-U-Music Awards, we are
creating a strong alliance to support underground music at its roots. We are counting on Remix's expertise
in the judging of our category for Best Production."
The Diesel-U-Music competition launches in October 2002.
