Welcome to the 2025 Electronic Music Marathon!
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. Our partner for this year will be announced soon, so please check back shortly to learn about the organization and cause we will be supporting this year!
We hope you'll tune in and join us in supporting this Philly DJ tradition!
