Diggsville: Lush and emotive downbeat groove.

From the moment Diggsville took the stage, their eclectic sets of down-tempo groove and funk-infused lounge stirred fans into a stupor of chilled out beats. Evoking musical effects of DJ Shadow, Jamiroquai, Moorcheeba, Portishead and Massive Attack, Diggsville's lush female vocals, dreamy keys, enigmatic samples, funky bass, driving drums and wild sax unite for a uniquely seductive blend of retro and contemporary elements.

Diggsville began as a musical entity while contributing to the soundtrack of the independent film, "In the Wake" by Erica Jordan. After cruising the festival circuit, percussionist Randy Odell and vocalist Karen Mitchell enlisted the piano skills of David von Holder. His rich synth textures and poignant melodic sensibilities provided the perfect complement to Randy Odell's timely grooves, both coming from a strong jazz and RandB background. Bassist David Hermocillo drives it to the ground and saxophonist Nadine Whitfield adds subtle soul to the evocative lyrics and haunting vocals of Karen Mitchell for an extraordinary sound, drawing upon influences that include hip-hop, electronica, slow-core and jazz.

Their first album, Songs from Nowhere, which was coproduced by Garth May of Fuzz Productions is satiating music junkies everywhere with substantially captivating grooves.
