In today’s world, it is easy to find new music with just a few clicks. With platforms like SoundCloud, Spotify, and Audiomack, anyone can hear a song anywhere and anytime. However, these platforms may not be the perfect way to introduce people to new and upcoming artists. In fact, before the world of streaming, artists got their music to the forefront by delivering their music to the dominating DJs and handing their records out through hands-on traditional marketing. In doing so, DJs played a vital role in introducing new music to the market. Allow us to introduce to you the innovative and inspiring DJ, Cory Giles who is making noise throughout the nation!
For decades, DJs were deemed the gatekeepers and mix-shows were the place where people got to hear all about new music! In the 80s, legends like Mr. Magic and Marley Marl started DJ Radio Mix Shows that helped break Hip Hop into mainstream. Then in the 90s, DJs like The Baka Boyz, Felli Fel, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Clue, and Kay Slay continued to push the culture forward by breaking artists for decades following. Hearing a DJ’s voice talk over a record, adding a special effect or playing the record back to back, created an emotional connection with listeners. It was a feeling that many of us have forgotten, and it’s something that streaming platforms can’t replicate.
With that being said, due to the rise of streaming platforms and the in-growth of terrestrial radio, mix shows unfortunately don’t get the attention they used to. There are very few mix shows like Los Angeles’ Power 106’s LA Leakers, which seem to have maintained their notoriety. Nonetheless, now there are emerging DJs like Shadyville DJ’s very own, Cory Giles, who has made monumental waves in music since stepping into the world of DJing. With years of previous experience in music from street team to promotions, and more… Cory Giles continues to keep his turntables spinning and headphones wrapped around the world’s neck!
Remaining a force to be reckoned with, Cory has recently returned with the launch of his midday mix show courtesy of DASH Radio! Before becoming a DJ, Cory was a fan of many mix shows and remembers tuning in to hear exclusive music drops and freestyles. Reverting back to his roots, Cory believes mix shows are also crucial in promoting and showcasing new and up-and-coming artists. Many may know that mainstream media and playlists from streaming platforms tend to focus on established artists. However, Cory wants to bring back the opportunity opened to all by providing a platform for emerging artists to reach a new market directly and gain some exposure while spinning and supporting the mainstream musicians as well. Maintaining momentum, mix shows have helped break Hip-Hop heavyweights like Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem, and are still breaking some of the biggest breakout artists to date!
As a result, Cory Giles announces the arrival of his latest mix show “In A NY Minute” launched on the renown DASH Radio on their flagship Hip Hop channel, Hip-Hop X! His hot new hit show showcases his skills and creativity.
