Digg Deep

Digg Deep is the genre-bending project of Julia Mahon. Aside from her original projects in the Irish DIY scene, she is known for her studio and live work with Owensie, Heathers, Enemies and Royal Yellow. Heavily influenced by bands such The Knife and Talking Heads, the writing for Digg Deep is focused on a perspective always inspired by a struggle and search for identity. This inner world is vividly portrayed through an emotional intensity in the songs; promising an irresistible sound and an energetic fling with styles. With a swirling mix of lush synths and brass, crisp guitar, and catchy vocal melodies, the songs take on a fresh, original groove with chunks of experimental and noise elements, thirsty for an avant-garde pop sound. Since releasing the 'Night and Day' EP in July 2024, Digg Deep has enticed with an exciting, multi-instrumental live set - featuring members of Blood Donor, Skinner and Yankari. Night and Day was produced by James Eager (James Vincent McMorrow, The Scratch, Sorcha Richardson) in The Clinic Studios

The second EP, recorded with Rian Trench in The Meadow, is set for release in Autumn 2025.
