Can You Dig It?

Photobucket
Dig Dug is another facet of the vast WTTM-pire. In conjunction with our good friends at Anno Domini, we organize an elite group of vendors and DJs for a night of record appreciation. Big shouts to my man Lynn Ness for the beatuful flyer design. Email for more info if you're going to be in the Bay Area that night.

We're very proud to present the evening's selectors:
David Ma (Wax Poetics, XLR8R)
Mr. Ma is a well-respected and widely published hip-hop writer who specializes in interviews with classic and emerging artists in the field. As a selector his tastes run toward 60's soul, Bowie, and the occasional party jam.
Peep a stellar example of Dave's non-WTTM work


Justin Torres (Re-Joint Records, All Bay Productions)
Mr. Torres has held it down as a vendor for many of the past Dig Dug events, and we are very excited to hear some selections from his legendary collection. Though a specialist in soul and funk from the Bay Area, we're not quite sure what to expect when he takes the decks.
Do yourself a favor, listen to this mix


DJ Platurn (Oakland Faders, Music Machine)
Platurnipus is one of the finest DJs in the Bay Area and beyond. He is a prolific and award-winning battle DJ, mixtape DJ and, more recently, club rocker. He has promised to bring out the funk records that he loves but can't play anywhere else.
Platurn does his thing internationally


But the real stars of the night are our vendors:
Jeff Jagged from On the Corner Music in Campbell.
Our brohemian Jeff has the only mom-and-pop shop in the south bay worth visiting. I just copped 4 or 5 nice titles today actually.

Geraldine Covento of 'The Need to Calm' on Sidewok radio and www.fmgvinyl.com

King Most, one of San Francisco's most in-demand DJ/Producers, Plug Label recording artist, and one hell of a nice guy.

Joey Meyers, San Jose legend, drummer for the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, and thrift store come-up king...and more tba

And now, a word...
DM was also able to hook us up some highly relevant non-corporate sponsorship. Please take a few minutes to visit the companies listed below, they were all beyond generous and need our support to continue releasing classic material from the past and the present:
Ubiquity Records
Now Again
Truth & Soul

See you downtown!
