DIG brings together vocalists from Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Nigeria, Ghana, and Angola, weaving their traditions into bass-heavy, drum-driven tracks with infectious energy. Standout single Tony's House—a rework of Afrobeat legend Tony Allen's "Afrodisco Beat"—is already earning heavy festival play from top DJs around the globe. The record also showcases Captain Planet's versatility, from the nature-infused textures of "Thirst No More" to the soulful "Mi Calor" with longtime collaborator Chico Mann. Backed by international press coverage (The Fader, Complex, Bandcamp), strong radio support (BBC, NPR, KCRW), and chart-topping past releases, DIG cements Captain Planet's reputation as a boundary-pushing producer bringing global sounds to the modern dance floor.
