DMX offers 40 audio channels ranging from the very latest in international music to local favourites. And now, DMX is giving music lovers the chance to provide feedback and suggestions about your favourite channels. For music artists looking for airplay of your hot new tracks – submit your music for review to DMX.
Get into your groove
The DMX website contains in-depth information on DMX’s 40 music channels currently on DStv (see below for details). Each month, DMX celebrates a music channel with insight from music designers on what makes the genre work and where its ambience is best enjoyed.
