🎧 The 805 Is Showing Up — So Why Aren’t Our DJs Showing OUT?
We’ve got talent filling every corner of the county.
We’ve got artists with MILLIONS of views online.
We’ve got a community ready to support the next wave of stars.
But too many local DJs still refuse to be the bridge.
They play the same safe songs every weekend — the “Poison,” the “All I Do Is Win,” the “guaranteed moments.”
And when they skip breaking new 805 records…
they choke the pipeline.
📉 When DJs Don’t Break Records, the Whole Scene Suffers
• Songs like “Show Off” by BigTime Bake hit 2 million views, but somehow never shake the coast.
• DJs are being given publishing to promote records… and still don’t play them.
• Some DJs are so focused on their shine they forget that legendary DJs got famous by pushing artists, not themselves.
Meanwhile — radio is doing more for 805 artists than most club DJs.
And that’s backwards.
🔥 What the Coast Needs Next
DJs who aren’t scared to be first.
DJs who understand the long game — ownership, culture, legacy.
DJs who see the 805 for what it is: the next California powerhouse.
