Great conversation! Didnt know so much about you until hearing this interview but you are inspiration. Glad to know theyre others out there that feel as i do. The music festival idea needs to be created and acted on. It would be epic and worthwhile

Welcome back past Daisychainer (#112), Brooklyn's Dee Diggs (@dee_diggs), taking us on a kinetic vibe journey and love-dancing through uplifting house for the Daisychain residency on Berlin's Refuge Worldwide 📡🌐🌼

Dee Diggs is a Brooklyn-based DJ dedicated to celebrating the Black and queer origins of house music and creating space for marginalized groups to express and organize themselves. 

Her energetic, yet deep approach to DJing has seen this Boston to Brooklyn transplant lighting up dancefloors all over; in particular, garnering attention in the queer party scenes. The year 2020 found her at the top of her game after a debut European tour during August 2019, her name popping up on top bills on a weekly basis in NYC, before the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed that momentum. Now in 2021, she can be found returning to DJing at IRL parties, still crafting soulful nostalgic DJ mixes for Soundcloud and radio, while also building her music production chops in her home studio, and her event House of Diggs.

Refuge Worldwide is a Berlin-based independent, community radio station working in solidarity with grassroots and non-profit organisations.

Dee Diggs - Refuge Worldwide x Daisychain | 004

Against the backdrop of the global pandemic that radically altered her everyday reality and the Black Lives Matter movement that sharpened her focus on black equity and erasure in dance music, the much-loved London-born, Manchester-based producer and DJ launched OTMI. While this genre-spanning label will release music from friends and collaborators, its debut release came from Anz herself as 001 explored the processes of coming un-done and rebuilding. Hard relate. At the beginning of lockdown, the industrious talent set herself the target of making 40 tracks and by the summer she had channeled her closed club frustrations to amass 74 tracks to soundtrack these unprecedented times. Throughout it all, Anz has played her signature blend of bass, UK funky, breakbeats, ghetto tech and electro selections once a month on her NTS Manchester show. As she’s been a regular of the station for half of its life, who better to close its 10.10 Store Mix takeover? Just as Manchester International Festival (MIF) announced her as one of the acts for its Homecoming Live night, Anz – who spends so much of her time recording club mixes –  wanted to share something different. Here, she wants you to take it easy with 65 minutes of “stone cold classics”.

Notes on the Mix///
"With this mix, I wanted to bring y’all on a journey with me through sounds that stir me in my spirit, make me move, and get lost in my emotions and my imagination. All jams I really dig! It's heavy on the acid, with some dreamy vocals, lush synths, and a funky, old-school-meets-new-school crunch; a sonic celebration of life and rhythms. It means a lot to me to be a part of XOXA's Blend mix series - I had fun with this one! Turn it up, and enjoy :)"

XOXA BLEND 060 - ROSE KOURTS

“Knowing Paul was a privilege. A force of nature. He was 100% about the music, achieved both mainstream and underground success without making compromises and while everyone recognises his immense talent, I’m not sure people realise how big his impact is on modern music.”

Big Dope P pays tribute to the late Chicago house producer, Paul Leighton Johnson.

Juanita's Mix 062 with musclecars @musclecarsnyc

Q. How would you describe yourself?

Brandon: Light hearted, reserved and a deep thinker. 

Craig: Crazy, sexy, cool. 

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?

B: I’ve been a part of the scene since I was a teenager, well before I was legally allowed to be in a night club. I’m still discovering so much about our music scene; we have such a rich history. 

C: We’re both born and raised here so it’s like we’ve always been part of this scene. In and out of record shops pre-teenage years and sneaking into the clubs by 16/17. 

B: I also feel so fortunate for the community here in NYC. There really aren’t any other states in the U.S. that have a scene as vibrant and thriving as ours!

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.

B: We took a spontaneous approach when we recorded the mix. Craig would play a record,  and I would feed off of that energy when deciding what to play next. It’s similar to how we play live. Nothings’ rehearsed and the music selection is unconstrained. 

C: The mix is a good example of some of the sounds you may hear at the party we throw. Hour long sets can be tricky to encapsulate the entire mood in such a short time, but we try our best to let the mix sonically speak for itself.
