Dee Diggs in da mix

@dee_diggs, the queen of Brooklyn, closed out Hemlock Hole with a bangin', soulful house set.  'A selectress with no inhibitions', Dee gave her heart and soul to the crowd and the dancers gave it all right back.

Campout Series:  Dee Diggs

This is me warming up the room... thus is why you’ll hear me play long drawn out tracks & some throwbacks in the first 25 or so minutes. I wanted to set a sensual, warm, welcoming tone for the rest of the night. 

I saved all the bangers for when the floor was starting to get packed. Funny enough my recorder’s battery died after the Hex Hector Whitney Houston remix I played. There is another 32 minutes of the set lost to our memories, but the recorder’s timing literally makes my intuition tingle. Maybe we did conjure and dance with the most legendary of angels that night. 

Enjoy the archived feelings and rhythms of this night I will never forget.

Track list to come!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me set the scene:

This set was my last live performance of 2021. This set in the main room of the Knockdown Center (my first time playing that side of things) was my victory lap on my home turf. Many shows in town had cancelled that night because of the endless virus surges, but some of us really needed this. So I showed up to play my part. 

After a year like 2021, when my DJ career snapped back like a rubber band and picked me up out of very pessimistic place, I needed this.

I am so grateful that I got to play this show with Ash Lauryn and Honey Diijon. Two djs I really admire and look up to! 

Ash said something to me back stage that illuminated how legendary this lineup was simply because of who we are: 3 generations of black women DJ’s carrying a very holy torch of love, light, & musical legacy by way of house music. :')

Full Fantasy NYC - Opening Set ~ 88 minutes of black.gurl.bliss

Dee Diggs + Vitigrrl @ The Lot Radio 04 - 10 - 2022

@dee_diggs plays with a sense of rapture that can be soft or heavy, but is always fun. The East Coast selector is Brooklyn-based, and that's where her House of Diggs party offers a place for marginalized groups to express and organize themselves. Next to this, she has a residency at Public Records but no matter where she plays, you can be sure it is always with real respect for the Black roots of house, techno and disco while touching on everything from sensual grooves to euphoric thumpers. 

This week's mix is a seat-of-your-pants selection that is unashamedly party-focussed. The good vibes flow from the first moment as Dee races through passionate house and vocal laced classics. There are moments of all-out hands in the celebration next to boogie workouts and a heart-swelling Mariah Carey edit. It's a quick, tight, and impossibly enjoyable listen from this cultured party-starter.

Dee Diggs — live from Boiler Room at Dekmantel Festival 2022.

Dee Diggs | Dekmantel 2022 | Friday

Everything's more beautiful in hindsight. 
IDK why that is.
 Here's something to mark 2022, to archive where I'm at on this hybrid- digital meets vinyl sound journey. 

Sometimes you listen to the recording and it reveals you had a real squeeze on the room and the vibes reflected are a pleasant surprise. As always listening back was a reckoning with my fIaws forcing me to deep listen and switch on some self acceptance til my mistakes become poetic mishaps meant to coax the message thru. I was touched seeing the divine feminine magnetizing in my sound and bringing the gurlz to the front of the dancing crowd at the Great Northern in San Francisco where this was recorded live - post-thanksgiving weekend in Nov 2022. Jazzy, sexy, manic, strange, grown, and very much me. Enjoy it!

Special thanks to @polyglamorous-club

I got the stuff that you want, the thang that u need.

A sexy opening set from Dee Diggs at RDC "Sound Horizon" on 24th November 2023.

RDC 065 - Dee Diggs

Alias: Dee Diggs
Pronoun: She / Her
Location: Brooklyn, NYC
Music labels: Toucan Sounds
Name of the mix: House is a Spiritual Feeling
About the mix: For me, House music is a 44-year-old genre of music that originated and popularized in the black gay LGBTQ+ nightclub spaces of New York, Chicago, and Detroit that spilled on to influence and inspire the world. House music is a living breathing relic that tells its own story in the hits, the lyrics, the parties, and our legends and legacies in local and worldwide scenes. 
House music is a mode of being, a ritualistic euphoria we gather for, a space of praise, connection, and unadulterated feeling, healing and dancing- kind of like church should be, a dance floor where there is room for someone like you.
The mix I made explores a spiritual realm of House music with influences of Jazz, Disco, Gospel, and African and Latin Diasporic sounds. 
Its infectious rhythms take you into a certain sentimentality. This is an ancestral conversation twisting into different messages of hope and resilience. The heart, soul, and mind are wrestling with big themes in these transitions. Though breaking through at times to find lightness, this one is meant to go deep. I love that House Music can hold all the multitudes and complexities of being human.

https://soundcloud.com/dee_diggs

Dee Diggs is a DJ and music producer based in Brooklyn, NY. She is unapologetically black, queer, and a lifelong student of the tenets of House Music. She describes herself as a lifelong ‘music-head’ and music lover. She cultivates a dance community of peers and collaborators through her parties named, House of Diggs, usually held at Public Records in Brooklyn.

Live recording from Dee's opening set at Nowadays with Stacey Hotwaxx Hale.

Dee Diggs
"Legacy connections on the dancefloor and in the dj booth inspire me to go deeper than ever before. Usually, I can do this by tapping into a spontaneous element of playfulness that allows me to seek catharsis in the imaginative layering of sound, using intuition to connect the messages within the lyric soup of my selections and braiding them all into a story, a feeling or an atmosphere.

I'm grateful for a recording that captured the pure passionate expression and alignment of this night. I got to play Disco, House, and Soul with and for someone as esteemed as Stacey Hotwaxx Hale! This is the opening set, the opening of a portal where the soul awakens and gets to shake and dance to an ecstatic peak in the night."

Thru sound I lose my metaphorical restraints and commit myself to a sonic landscape, not absent of outside influence, yet deeply seeped in my references & love of history & hunger for myths of parties I never went to. I live to uncover and share these temporal moments locked in recordings of music magic taken place before I was born. I fall strongly in favor of sounds that are a reflection of my mood in the moment. {there is a song tracking every feeling & thought} I practice alchemy mono to stereo seducing the collective 'we' into movement & memories & emotions.
