Cratedigging is not simply an act of seeking and buying. It’s a hunt for DNA. It’s a belief that curation is care. It's an adventure outside the closed walls of our streaming platforms and into the hearts and minds of other human beings.  

Cratedigging is a lens into – and a metaphor for – our collective love and appreciation for music.

As we increasingly move to digital spaces and trans-act in online economies, it’s essential that we don’t fall into habits of isolated consumption – 

lest we forget there are human beings on both ends of every song: the people who make it and the people who listen to it, support it, and amplify it.

The Crate Coalition is made up of people who echo this belief. 

Nina Protocol riffs on similar themes, so we're curating music in this space.
