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 of House & Techno! Thank you, Disco-era Queens & Queers alike for the theatrics & fanfare of nightlife as we know it!)
She is an organizer with Boston's own femme/queer music tech collective, Evlv Tech & promotes monthly events with the electro/hip-hop mash-up freak show known as Rare Footage Boston, as well as a Resident DJ at Shake Boston. Her sound is on the A-side, grounded & self-referential, & on the the B-side, a dreamy and foreign pursuit.
The Dee Diggs experience is the warm vibe that radiates through the room as the booth and the dance floor become one deep in the mix
