Accelerating music & culture for twenty-five years.

Please note: We do not accept music for review sent via our SoundCloud account.

Electronic music is in our DNA, and we cover the full musical spectrum ranging from disco to house, from intelligent dance music to techno, and everything in between. At DGTL, we differentiate with balanced programming. By giving talent a platform, we can develop our own headliners and form long-lasting relationships with artists from early on.

DGTL builds bridges between music styles and genres, aiming to blend different audiences and cultures. Our line-ups are a combination of the power of our global DGTL brand, and all the beauty that local cultures hold. We want to be inclusive for every gender, sexual orientation, origin, color and country. Everyone always should be and feel welcome at DGTL.

With DGTL Records we build on our festival’s musical theme of an evocative cross section of the sounds and styles; showcasing forward thinking, cutting edge artists. Besides this, the label also functions as a platform for newcomers. This results in the creation of a coherent selection of music with a true family vibe; we want artists to feel connected to the label, the people behind it and to the other artists. 

Our in-house label DGTL Records emerged from the DGTL festival brand and has a single focus on music and community. It combines both upcoming talents together with established artists, bringing unique music and cross-over sounds that both add to the electronic music spectrum.
