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.

This year, we're focusing on giving back to the community by partnering with the Philly Unknown Project. This grassroots non-profit offers much-needed support to individuals recently released from addiction treatment or incarceration. The Philly Unknown Project offers meaningful employment opportunities in their community garden, outreach programs, and newly opened thrift store on West Girard Avenue. Participants not only earn a living wage but also gain access to computers, resume-building assistance, a supportive network, and help securing stable long-term employment. By supporting this organization, we hope to strengthen communities and give people a second chance to become who they were meant to be.

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