Digger Dance

Members
Digger Dance consisted of the rapper B-Low (Bülent Çelebi) and the producer and DJ Tobby Digg (Tobias Iliev-Granow).
Artistic work
Digger Dance has been active since the early 1990s. The line-up changed quite often until Tobby Digg and B-Low emerged as a permanent core. Originally they published music in English under the name "Direkt Aktion", which was ascribed to "Britcore", an era in German hip-hop in which one enjoyed the European influences of hip-hop mainly from England; until about 1997 they switched to German texts. The video for her early regional hit Digger is a Dancer came from Fatih Akın . In the German-Turkish comedy Three Angels for Ali (2002) by Roman Schaible, which was shown at the Hof Film Festival in 2003 , Digger Dance can be seen in the leading roles and makes the music. In 2003, their first commercially available album, The Diggest , was released, which was the Eimsbush label's last release before its bankruptcy . Digger Dance has toured with the "Drei Engel für Ali-Show", Style Liga and as the opening act for Deichkind .
