To somebody who doesn't know, what's the process like for when the DJ gets on air? You gotta have some sort of presence in the streets. I definitely did. I had a presence. And when you're a young DJ and you wanna come up and you wanna do radio, you definitely gotta have a little bit of your market locked down.
It's all about who you know. One of the biggest jobs a radio personality has is to know what's going on in the streets. Cause if you really making noise in the streets, they'll hear you. That's exactly what happened.
Everyone has an iPhone, everyone has Spotify, everyone has all these different sources of music. What does radio have to do to connect to young listeners again? It's all about the DJ. What people that listen to me notice is I'll play something that you're not gonna hear on Spotify. Pandora doesn't have what I'm about to play! You listen to me, you're gonna hear club music, you might hear a new artist that's bubbling and nobody's ever heard of before, that doesn't even know how to get their song on iTunes or Spotify.
So you always gotta play what people know, and mix it up with what people may have never heard of before. For example, there's an artist in Philly named Lee Mazin. When I heard of her, nobody really heard of her yet. So, alright, I'm gonna be the first person to pop her off on radio. Because nobody ever heard of this guy before. And I'm gonna bring him to you. I'm gonna show y'all who he is. That's why people should wanna listen to different mix shows.
In my case, I think that's why people come to me. You specialize in Philly club music. It's so fast, so energetic, so engaged.
How'd that style develop, and what drew you to it specifically? When I started DJ'ing, I didn't get it. I didn't get that style, I was just like "You know, I'm gonna play hip-hop.
I'm gonna play these mixtape-type songs. They're sitting at home, in their room, and they're making tracks.
