The Deep Underground (DUG) collective takes over Disjecta for the third time this year with a night of music, dancing, food, and art. What started as a group of friends throwing house shows a little over a year ago, creating and providing a space for Portland artists to make and share their art, has blossomed into one of Portland's most important recurring arts and cultural events. Focusing this week on the theme of diaspora and displacement of communities, and the strengthening of those communities, DUG will showcase dozens of Portland artists in a multitude of mediums. Among those set to perform include musician and multi-instrumentalist Amenta Abioto, seven-piece band POPgoji, with their mash-up of American pop/soul and infectious Brazilian beats, and hip-hop artist and North Portland native Mic Capes. Get there early! SKYLER WALRATH
