COME ON DOWN TO DIG DUG DIG FEST! We’re vending here through the evening… bands are playing til 9:00, DJ set plays 9:00-11:00. Come on down!!! It’s gonna be an ongoing series of jammmmzzzz! 🎸 🎶

The inaugural Dig Dug Dig fest is this weekend in our nation’s capital, only at @pennsocialdc on Saturday, July 19, 2025. We are so excited to debut the Dig Dug Dig Record Fair at this event. We’ve got some really great DC area record vendors coming out to bring you all their well curated collection of vinyl for you to salivate over (yes, bring your purses and wallets, folks!). From @fox5dc to @insidehook to @washingtonpost to @dcfray to @washingtonianmag to @dcist to @washingtoncitypaper there’s a lot to talk about when @byrdlandrecords is part of the conversation. Byrdland Records is a vinyl records and music store from the team behind Songbyrd Music House! In addition to Byrdland Records being at Dig Dug Dig, we’ve got everybody’s favorite record store in Greenbelt, MD, slinging records with us. That’s right, @sonidos.musicshop will be there, too. And, then, there’s that rad record store in Chevy Chase, MD, that’s always hosting some sort of DC’s best events: @artsoundlanguagebooks Don’t get me started on @vinylxxo who specializes in Japanese pressings. How cool is that??!!! @dan_e_byrdmusic was recently recognized by @hrmusicfest by having a stellar collection of vinyl priced at only $5. Will that box be at Dig Dug Dig 🤔 Who here in the District isn’t familiar with @dischordrecords ? I imagine very few of you are not familiar with this label and the positive effect it has had on the DC community which has spread all around the world. @forloveofrecords released a compilation on vinyl of current DC bands paying tribute to their fave Dischord bands. Those records will be for sale. We’re not done, yet. We’ve got @mezzanine.vinyl onboard, too. They’re very active in the local DC vinyl community with hosting vinyl related events, too. To include, record fairs and more. @1200.flavors will have their stack of records for sale but don’t count on there being 1,200 records onsite at their table. That’s a lot of records to haul. @recordexchangesilverspring @rhythmlingorecords and @buyroms will be at this event, too. I’m running out of characters for this post but I assure you that these 3 vendors have what you want and will be bringing it this wkn!

Whaaat??!!! There’s a record fair happening at the inaugural DIG DUG DIG fest, too 😮😮😮 on Saturday, July 19, 2025, in our nation’s capital only at @pennsocialdc That’s right and we are assembling ourselves an Avengers group of audiophiles who would love to talk your ears off about their love for all things vinyl. We have the best record store in NoMa @byrdlandrecords (in the @unionmarketdc area) onboard. We have the raddest record store in Greenbelt, Maryland, @sonidos.musicshop (who is right around the corner from @atomicmusic ) who will be at DIG DUG DIG. In addition to these fine establishments, look who else is going to party with us: @artsoundlanguage +++ aquatic.gardener w/ @mezzanine.vinyl +++ @1200.flavors +++ @vinylxxo +++ @buyroms +++ @recordexchangesilverspring +++ @rhythmlingorecords +++ more (stay tuned!) “Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, “Listen, mate, life has surface noise.” John Peel ( the longest serving of the original BBC Radio1 DJs) “I’ve looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I’m there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I’ve been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.” Dr. Dre (rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur) “I’m a big collector of vinyl – I have a record room in my house – and I’ve always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I’m writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.” - Quentin Tarantino “Vinyl is the real deal. I’ve always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don’t really own the album. And it’s not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.” Jack White (the lead singer and guitarist of The White Stripes) #washingtondc #digdugdig #therisersagencyllc #pennsocialdc

Interested in joining the party, email us at [email protected] “My father was my first inspiration. He had an incredible stereo and a turntable, and I was told not to touch it. But I’d go back and touch it anyway. I gained a respect for the turntables when I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I came up with a ‘cueing system’ to work the turntables because they didn’t have it at that time.” - Grandmaster Flash (considered to be one of the pioneers of hip-hop DJing, cutting, and mixing) “Sitting in a room, alone, listening to a CD is to be lonely. Sitting in a room alone with an LP crackling away, or sitting next to the turntable listening to a song at a time via 7-inch single is enjoying the sublime state of solitude.” - Henry Rollins (musician, writer, journalist, publisher, actor, television and radio host, comedian, and activist) “I don’t think it’s real unless you put it on an LP. CDs aren’t real. Anybody can do that” - Bob Pollard (Guided By Voices)
