The barrier for entry that existed before in\u00a0radio is being knocked down and I had a vision of the future in which\u00a0free, uncensored, and un-compromised radio without commercials was\u00a0possible as radio transitions away from needing antennas and into the\u00a0connected car, internet of things, and dominance of smartphone apps.<\/p>\n<p>We put together an incredible team with amazing backers to found DASH with the premise of creating the best possible experience for\u00a0listeners that includes more varieties, the best DJ&#8217;s and curators in\u00a0the world, and most importantly, great radio, all for free. It&#8217;s an\u00a0obvious play someone will do, so why not us?<br \/>\n<span class=\"im\"><br \/>\n<strong>NK: What do you feel DASH provides listeners that the other forms of\u00a0<\/strong><strong>radio do not?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DJ Skee:<\/strong> Variety, freedom, and the best content in the world. The obvious is we\u00a0are a free service with no traditional commercials (that we all hate)\u00a0and the most variety, but beyond that are partnering with the best DJs, brands, and curators in each field (like Snkrs Day!) to power\u00a0our content.<\/p>\n<p>Regular radio is run by a few corporations struggling to\u00a0get out of billions in debt that don&#8217;t understand culture and haven&#8217;t\u00a0evolved away from the traditional 10 format system with 15 song\u00a0playlists. We aim to have something for everyone powered by the best\u00a0in every field, and get rid of the rules, regulations, commercials,\u00a0boring content, lack of variety, low quality signals, and everything\u00a0else that limits radio today.<br \/>\n<span class=\"im\"><br \/>\n<strong>NK: What was the reasoning behind the decision to have a sneaker show on your station?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DJ Skee:<\/strong> Sneakers are my vice&#8230; but beyond that have played a huge part of\u00a0what my brand is about. It also is a massive market with incredible\u00a0fans that have nowhere to tune to discuss or hear the latest on what\u00a0is going on in terms of broadcast. With my natural obsession and a\u00a0huge market that has no where to turn, it&#8217;s a natural fit.<br \/>\n<span class=\"im\"><br \/>\n<strong>NK: What made the partnership between Snkrs Day and DASH seem like a good fit?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DJ Skee<\/strong>: Look at my Sneak Peak and it&#8217;s obvious&#8230; in all seriousness, again, at\u00a0Dash, we like to partner with the top people in every field.<\/p>\n<p>Nice\u00a0Kicks has always held me down and in talking with Matt it just made\u00a0sense&#8230; especially to launch it <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_211281346\"><span class=\"aQJ\">on Saturday<\/span><\/span> mornings when we all-\u00a0myself included- are glued to our computers smashing refresh, checking\u00a0message boards, and doing whatever we can to try and get the new\u00a0releases.<\/p>\n<p>During this time you can&#8217;t watch a video, read sites, or\u00a0anything as the focus is on the sneakers, but radio can be run in the\u00a0background during this and it opens up a whole new lane. We want to\u00a0check in with people across the country in lines, give advice on which\u00a0sites still have size runs, and of course talk about new releases, the\u00a0history of certain kicks, ideas, and other stories that relate to the\u00a0culture. It might not make sense when you first hear we are doing a\u00a0radio show on sneakers but when you listen to it <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_211281347\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday<\/span><\/span> morning in\u00a0the background while you try to get your kicks it will make perfect\u00a0sense!<br \/>\n<span class=\"im\"><br \/>\n<strong>NK: Do you have plans to expand your love of sneakers within your\u00a0<\/strong><strong>media portfolio?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DJ Skee:<\/strong> Of course. This is the first of many things I\/we hope to do in the\u00a0space. Everything that has ever worked for me and business has come\u00a0from my inner passion, and sneakers have been a massive part of my\u00a0life since I was a teenager, so it only makes sense.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tune in to the SKEE station on the DASH radio app every Saturday morning from 7:00 am to 9:00 am Pacific\/10:00 am to Noon Eastern to catch Snkrs Day Live. Everything sneakers will be discussed from upcoming releases to OGs to signature shoes to customs. You will have the opportunity to call in to have your voice be heard on the state of sneakers today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/dash-radio\/id907383542?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Download the DASH app for iPhone here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.dashradio.dash\" target=\"_blank\">Download the DASH app on Android here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snkrs Day Live launches this weekend exclusively on DASH Radio airing Saturday at 10am Eastern\/7am Pacific.
