Introduction
Music, technologies and brands make up todays music business ecosystem. midem is the place where music makers, cutting-edge technologies, brands & talent come together to enrich the passionate relationship between people & music, transform audience engagement & form new business connections.

A word from Bruno Crolot, midems Director: midem used to be more of a B2B music market with what I would call the regular music industry: the publishers, producers, labels and distributors. Today we are following the evolution of the music business and we definitely want to target a much broader ecosystem that includes brands, technologies and artists. We are not moving away from music. I think we are moving with the music business to a broader eco-system, where music is the glue and where technologies are used by brands, artists and labels to re-engage with audiences on a direct to audience basis.

Music, brands & technologies interact together in new ways: Six of the top ten Twitter accounts are musicians A third of all YouTube videos are music-related 74% of music fans and 67% of labels agree that more fans will buy directly from the artists (Music Support Here, 2011) Over 2.9M artists now meet, engage & transact over online communities* 97% of people think that music can strengthen their brand (Sounds Like Branding, 2010) 91% of consumers accept or are positive about brand involvement in music entertainment and culture (Frukt, 2011)

What are the new rules of audience engagement and monetisation? How to build an artist career as a brand? What are the most sustainable models to achieve it?

SATURDAY 28 JANUARY
She was not destined to become an artist. I grew up in a really little town in Belgium, and none of my family was into music, reveals the twenty one year old, with refreshing sincerity. Her first album is ambitious: a smart melting pot between electric rock, organic hiphop and soulfunk. Like Janelle Monae or Aloe Blacc, Selah Sue belongs to a new generation for whom music has no boundaries. www.selahsue.com

Much has been written about Imany over the past couple of months and she has made multiple appearances on both television and radio. But musical success has come neither easily nor quickly for the 30-year-old, who said in a recent interview that it was, "A dream come true" but one which "had taken some time to fulfill."The result was the album "The shape of a broken heart", one which has brought about plenty of comparisons with the Grammy award-winning US singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. And that's largely because of Imany's resonant and powerful voice. www.imanymusic.com/

For those of you who don't know anything about Soulwax or 2manydjs....Their musical history is checkered with highlights. The sons of a noted Belgian radio DJ, the pair formed a rock band named Soulwax, who released several acclaimed records and toured extensively. At this time the brothers were also concurrently DJing under the names The Flying Dewaele Brothers & 2manydjs to rapturous response both in clubs, on Belgian radio and beyond. In 2002 their massively acclaimed debut mix album 2manydjs - As heard on Radio Soulwax Volume 2 was released on an unsuspecting world. It changed the face of dance mix compilations forever simply by splicing hundreds of rock, electro, dance, hip hop and other classics from the depths of their vaults together. It was also fun!!! And somehow they had managed to do what so many had failed to do previously - bring that fun and chaos from the club into your home. www.radiosoulwax.com

Musically, Hip Hop fuses with Electro, Metal uses sequences, rap phrasings, and puzzle-pieces from across the globe are being pieced together into the fiery-hot SHAKA-mix: Red Hot Chili Peppers meet Frank Zappa, Manu Chao meets ZZ Top, Zodiac Mindwarp meets Gogol Bordello, AC/DC meet Talking Heads. www.shakaponk.com/SHKPNK.html
