For our first DeepDig of 2026, we’re excited to welcome two selectors who truly live and breathe the art of digging. Chris Wheatley and Dom Ore join us for a night rooted in soulful dance music, deep knowledge and beautifully curated records.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Chris Wheatley has spent over 30 years immersed in DJing and record collecting, building a reputation for wide-ranging, joyful sets that move effortlessly through disco, boogie, electrofunk, reggae, funk, jazz, Latin, house and garage. His journey has taken him across the UK and Europe, playing venues and festivals including Spiritland, Brilliant Corners, Café 1001, Brixton Disco Festival, Red Light Radio, Kasheme Zurich and Sacré Paris.
A regular at We Out Here Festival and making his Love Supreme debut with Mr Bongo in 2023, Chris has shared stages with artists such as Dave Lee, Kenny Dope, Greg Wilson, Horse Meat Disco, Nightmares on Wax, Luke Una, Dimitri From Paris and Roy Ayers. His dedication to digging culture was also recognised in World Records Volume Two, celebrating record collectors from around the globe. Expect deep crates, thoughtful selections and a proper musical journey.
Dom Ore returns to DeepDig for his second appearance, following an incredible warm-up set on the terrace before Medlar and hosting a Miles Away Records party at Grow last year. We’re excited to welcome him back. A highly respected DJ, broadcaster and label founder, Dom’s influence runs deep through the UK’s soulful music scene.
Starting out at Acid Jazz Records, he developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of soul, jazz and disco while working alongside artists like Leroy Hutson and The Brand New Heavies. He’s since become a familiar voice on Soho Radio and BBC 6 Music, and a trusted selector at venues and festivals including Glastonbury, Spiritland, The Pickle Factory and Crofters Rights.
In 2019, Dom founded Miles Away Records, a label dedicated to reissuing rare and underappreciated soul, jazz and disco gems. With releases championed by tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson and Colleen Cosmo Murphy, and collaborations with legendary imprints including Brunswick, Easy Street and Sleeping Bag, the label has become essential listening for collectors and dancers alike.
Together, Chris Wheatley and Dom Ore bring a shared passion for deep digging, musical storytelling and soulful dancefloors. Expect a night built on quality, curiosity and feeling, exactly how DeepDig likes it.
