Hi-Fli Tones partners with The Core DJs to offer music, industry news and video content.
Atlanta, GA (PRWeb) March 13, 2007 -- Hi-Fli Tones, the number one source for hip hop ringtones and mobile content, has announced a strategic partnership with The Core DJs, the largest organization of Urban Music DJs in the world.In a unique strategy, the companies will cross-link their respective websites and share music content, as well as industry news and video content. Under the partnership agreement, Hi-Fli will license its content library to The Core DJs, as well as facilitate ringtone sales on The Core DJs' website. The Core DJs offer a wide assortment of music, from rap to hip hop to R&B.
The first-of-its-kind partnership comes in response to the Internet's increasing power to shape the face of the music industry. Until now, ringtones have only been available from musicians that are signed to one of the major record labels. Through the new Hi-Fli/Core DJ alliance, hot, breaking regional music will now be available months earlier, a boon for fans and musicians alike.
The Atlanta-based hip hop ringtone company is also hoping the new collaboration will allow The Core DJs - and DJs in general - to monetize their clout. In an industry where DJs wield a tremendous amount of influence, the new partnership will put them in the loop a little earlier and give them added recognition for their impact on the industry.
Tim Maxman, President and CEO of Hi-Fli Tones, is enthusiastic about the new affiliation. "This is an incredibly exciting partnership for Hi-Fli Tones," he says. "Hi-Fli was established with the mission of becoming a truly authentic 'street certified' rap and hip-hop internet destination….a true community - the first of its kind. Who better to partner with than "The Core"? It's the largest and most respected group of Urban Music DJs in the world. It's a real honor that The Core has chosen to partner with us; it validates what we've been building from day one."
Tony Neal, CEO and founder of The Core echoes the sentiment. "We believe in what Hi-Fli is doing and The Core is happy to be a part of it. Until now there's really been no one out there on the Internet focusing on and promoting Independent and Underground music. Hi-Fli has shown us that they are truly dedicated to this cause and we believe that The Core can offer a great deal of assistance in their efforts. What Hi-Fli Tones is doing is a truly unique opportunity for artists, DJs and regional record labels alike."
Hi-Fli is also pleased to announce its participation as one of the lead sponsors of The Core DJs VI Annual Retreat, taking place this week in Miami. The Core DJs' annual retreat is one of the premier events in the industry, bringing artists, DJs, and record labels of all sizes together for a yearly "summit".
