<<< EVLV TECH >>> Dee Diggs, Tameka w/ two guests

There would be no culture without subculture so we are working to raise and redefine the standards and norms of music technology. By showcasing and uniting self-identified female, genderqueer, transgender, and gender non-binary producers, Dj’s and live performers, we recreate a new narrative for the current male-dominated circuit in club culture and music technology

Dee Diggs
Dee Diggs is a DJ, event curator & organizer based in Boston, MA.

She is unapologetically black, queer, & femme.

She is building and using her influence to create space for marginalized groups to express & organize themselves. Her aim is to sustain more spaces where these groups are valued and thanked by name for their contributions to humanity. (Thank the OG Black innovators for House & Techno! Thank you, Disco-era Queens & Queers alike for the theatrics & fanfare of nightlife as we know it! etc.)
Her sound is on the A-side, grounded & self-referential, but on the the B-side, a dreamy and foreign pursuit.
