Bio: Born in the early 80s, DJ Ykcor was the product of a blue collar working community in Reading, PA where he was one of three siblings. At the age of 16, Ykcor, who was inspired by a handful of radio disc jockeys, made the bold decision to teach himself the art of turntablism with nothing more than the radio shows he taped to act as his mentor. Imitation began as a struggle to hear and capture the musical output without seeing the finger and hand work that produced the sounds. But Ykcor quickly mastered the basics.
When he was no more than a year into his self-taught curriculum, he saw a DJ for the first time. This turn of events would inspire him to even go in harder, learning more and more advanced techniques until he was ready to establish his presence as a true contender in his region. As he began to find more gigs, and more opportunities emerged, his resume gradually built. Another break came when he joined a mobile DJ company called The Hitmen Mix Squad. Here, he began a regular regimen of parties, weddings, and club stints. Ykcor soon became a club regular, doing every one of them in his area, becoming a local celebrity as he backed up nearly every local artist. Soon, Ykcor was finding opportunity backing up A-list artists who were passing through his area. That list included Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Dipset, Donnell Marshall, and Freeway. Ykcor went on to work at a handful of radio stations including 91.3 FM in Reading, PA, 105.5 FM in Tamaqua, PA, 91.3 FM in Allentown, PA, Soul 104.5 FM in Fayetteville, NC, and 88.7 FM for Duke University Radio.
A few of Ykcor’s mixtapes have obtained cult status among his followers. His “F%&# Your Mixtape” project with artist Whitefolkz received the 2009 award for best mixtape in the DMV. While his “Vintage Vault” project with Baltimore artist Wordsmith quickly reached one million downloads within a month of release. Within his first six months of doing mixtapes for artists, he saw his projects downloaded over three million times.
His current affiliation is with Coast2Coast mixtapes, a powerhouse DJ service responsible for creating some of the most anticipated and highly prized DJ mixtapes in the world. Ykcor is also affiliated with Fleet DJs, which is arguably the strongest DJ coalition on the planet, and with whom he releases major mixtape projects for both mainstream and unsigned artists. Finally, he is a member of the Mixtape Syndicate, a smaller group consisting of some of the top promotional DJs in the country. Despite a furious schedule of mixtape releases, Ykcor maintains three radio programs, including a show on Swurv Radio, his own mix show on Revolt Radio, and an artist feature show on Revolt Radio
