A few weeks ago After years and years in the game, including time at KIIS FM and Hip-Hop Nation, DJ Skee has called it quits... from the radio. In a recent video The Minnesota Reared DJ explains that he is board with the watered down new direction of radio. Growing up as LA kid who listened radio personalities like Julio G, Sway and Tech, and others I commend him for taking a stand. In this video he mentioned new ventures in near future.
A couple days ago DJ Skee anounced his new move. DASH Radio a commercial-free internet-radio platform, backed by big names like Epic Records executive L.A. Reid, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and others.
In a recent interview He explained the platform of this new app.
"A lot of kids think Pandora is radio, but there’s a gross mislabeling that’s happening. Radio was the first social network, the first time people really listened together. And we want to bring that feeling back, but with more freedom than what FM and satellite can offer. Digital radio today is not real radio -- it’s like making a mixtape for your friends. There’s still a time where you just want to listen to curated radio, and we want to be that option."
Available now on Apple iOS, Google Android and mobile web, DASH kicks off with 50 stations (ranging from Hip Hop and R&B to EDM and Country) and plans to add new stations weekly. Happy listening.
I downloaded the app and love it!
