As the sun sets over the crater on the 3rd day of Hopkins Creek.
I perch in the Planetarium tent, a space assisting for meditation, reflection, calmness, togetherness & a bit of a dance if you so will.
Jack tells me "Feel free to not play ambient music if you want".
My interpretation of music presented here was put together on the fly, it is in my eyes, uplifting, hopeful, joyful & tender. 
A warm hug shared between friends over the course of the three days.
Special life-long memories.

Thanks Jack for inviting me to play & to the Hopkins crew for putting together such a beautiful weekend.
Enjoy

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."

Reveal Yourself to the Pure Elements of Groove in the Afternoon

This set is a nature spell, an afternoon praise break, the trees shook with us as we followed the source energy through the drum beat with disco, house, gospel, all kinds of soulful music for the funky people of the rainbow. 

I am reminiscing to this. It brings me back to visions of the sun peaking as white light through clouds, the sweat, the incense, the smiles, the moments of elation and rhythmic sensation. 

Thank you for letting me play music from my heart for you this afternoon. My one woman jazz takes many bumps twists turns, and you all were there for the journey! It felt so good. Your energy & memories are diffused into these sounds now too. Gratitude to all the forces that brought me here, to be a conduit of joy - Dee Diggs

This a recording of my set at Nowadays Nonstop from December 2024.

Shared this to commemorate the Voüch zine I was on the cover of for Valentine's weekend 2025 ~~~ (insta: @vouchwick)

Did you get your copy?
Gotta ask IRL 
when you see me or Zach <3

before it's out of our hands and into the archives.....

~Reflections~

My favorite moments in the mix are when a sense of urgency to play around, to switch moods, to linger and lean into experiments,  all of it riles up and smooths out the beat connection again and again. Just like the oceans tide, it comes in swells of beautiful music and risky stitching of all the messages together. It's not perfect, but I am living in these songs for this moment. Washing them through my being and my perspective, that's the fun part and the part I feel the deepest, that somehow I'm bringing this music to life through appreciation and reverence. 

Giving you something new at the end. The culmination of all the inspiration - is new music - sonically pushing to channel more light to this world.

SonarMix 059: Dee Diggs

We made time… we made magic… This is what I sounded like at the Majestic Stage at Making time Festival in Philadelphia, PA during late September 2024. 

A couple days before my 30th birthday, my twenties came to an end after that weekend. This decade of my life took me from traveling across town from my college apartment in Boston to play basement raves all the way to the club and festival stages of the whole wide world. :''} I spent the weekend how I spent my 20's: DJing, dancing, smoking ouid, chatting it up and realizing just how much life and kinship my love of music has given to me. The bravery to take up space that it instilled in me is the ultimate gift. 

I planned a special mostly all vinyl set to play for this one because I owe it all to the music. I remember as soon as I could drive leaving high school on my lunch break  to  look through dusty bins at Papa Jazz records store in South Carolina.  I didn’t know what I was looking for in those dusty bins until it found me: house music, the connections of soul, jazz, RnB, and the real feeling type of music my gay and black ancestors planted seeds and reflections in for me. 

I got to play that last 20-something DJ set on maestro DJ and house music godfather, Theo Parrish’s custom rotary ISONOE mixer. 

Every DJ before him touched those knobs, but when it was my turn it became a Divinely Feminine rotation, a ritual of sound and spirit, sweeping synths and crackling of the record dust mimicking the planes flying over head, where my hands were thrown up in ecstatic motion at times, there was a synergy that could not be explained. It was a beautiful day.

I felt good about this energy work. I felt good lighting the incense. It felt good fulfilling my purpose, praise and worship, a musical acknowledgement of the source energy that flows and unites all things.

 I’m blessed to act as conduit when I’m tapped into the gift of persuasion of melodies and moods. I am charged by the power of the elements especially when I am playing in the outdoors like I was this day.

I pray many more birthdays come to find me doing what I love, what I was made to do, making a joyful noise as loud as they will let me and shining this light, my spark - this black magic woman starlight-  for all to see(and hear).

Track list soon come. <3 Dee Diggs

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.
