Beginning its very first installment in 3/5/2008, DONG TAI DU / DTD (Translation: “Move Attitude”, “Forward Thinking” or “Action”) is set to be a yearly independent music event, created to celebrate Malaysia’s very own homegrown music and creative arts.

But DONG TAI DU / DTD is not only an event, it is also a cross-over indie label prepared to ignite the creative sub-culture flame in the local youth community, a platform that gathers like-minded peers in celebration of the DIY spirit that fuels today’s local youth trends.Not only do we seek to bring to this unique youth culture to higher grounds within the local arena, but with our up-coming, on-going efforts, we seek to become the premier Chinese independent event in the South East Asia.

Our vision is to create a music and creative arts event that involves local acts capable of invoking a passion for music and art, with a range of edgy and progressive sounds to cater to a diverse audience; and the event and its activities should generate high energy, unlimited excitements, thrills and fun to the relevant target group as well.

DONG TAI DU / DTD's blog is already seeing a rising number of readers and visitors, both curious and drawn to the grand possibilities of the local creative sub-culture and the growing sense of community.The blog features regular updates of the event, sample music tracks from local bands, videos, feature articles on international Asian music acts plus artworks and photography from youth art circles as well as network links to other fun and creative youth communities.
