The overall final of the Diesel-U-Music Awards took place in London last night. This saw the overall winners for each genre area (rock, urban, electronic) from all the countries that now take part in the awards programme competing for overall global prizes. Industry and media judges picked out the overall winners for each genre, while there was a people's choice award letting punters pick out their overall favourite from all the global finalists by listening to their music on the Diesel website. And the winners were:
Rock: Stoop (Italy)
Hip-Hop/Urban: Move.Meant (USA)
Electronic: Duke Dumont (UK)
Public Vote: The Epochs (USA)
Two additional awards were made at the London event, one for Contribution To Music which went to Mick Rock, and one for Music Icon, which went to Roxy Music. The whole thing will be shown on Channel 4 on 22 Oct at midnight ten.
