WKDU's Electronic Music Marathon is an annual event featuring 84 hours of nonstop music from nearly 100 Philadelphia DJs with the goal of fundraising and engaging with the local community!

The EMM defines "electronic" in the broadest sense: bringing together funk, ambient, jungle, and everything in between into a full weekend of music brought to you by local talent ranging from up-and-coming DJs to veterans of the scene.

Since the event’s inception, we've raised over $75,000 for various Philadelphia area non-profits, partnering with a different organization each year to fundraise and fulfill WKDU’s mission of supporting our community through our programming.

Past causes have included community engagement and employment assistance with the Philly Unknown Project, harm-reduction for women and queer people with Project SAFE, and access to abortion services in Southeast Pennsylvania with the Abortion Liberation Fund of Pennsylvania.

This year, we're focusing on supporting those at risk due to the current state of immigration policy by partnering with Vamos Juntos. Founded in 2002, Vamos Juntos has taken an active role in the development of immigration-focused community organizing and education as well as grassroots initiatives to directly aid Philadelphians in protecting themselves and supporting their friends and family. Through their work informing residents citywide about their rights and providing helpful resources for all ages, the organization seeks to alleviate the inhumane conditions often faced by members of communities all over the city. By supporting Vamos Juntos, we hope to strengthen communities and strengthen the framework that those at risk can depend on.

We hope you'll tune in and join us in supporting this Philly DJ tradition!
