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

earthaclit (Cierra Michele Peters) is a native Bostonian artist. as a performance artist, under the moniker earthaclit, she uses electronic music, video and spoken word to foster meaningful conversations around diasporic longings + cultural disruption. as a Caribbean/American black femme positioned at the intersection of multiple cultural and national identities, she believes in the power of music and its embodied experience as a means to expand discourse and go places traditional activism does not.


she's also a member of evlv tech, a community forum and art collective aimed at creating space for femme-identified and nonbinary people in music technology.
