Netflix Feature: One of my recent milestones was having my music licensed by Netflix – my song “Hiwave” was featured in the soundtrack of the Netflix series Heartbreak High (Season 2)netflixlife.com. Hearing my track play in a hit show was a thrilling moment and underscored the broad appeal of my sound in visual media.
Critical Praise: Over the years I’ve been fortunate to earn praise from respected figures in the music world. As mentioned, Gilles Peterson and DJ Jazzy Jeff have both championed my workcygorman.bandcamp.com. I’ve also received props from L.A. tastemakers like Garth Trinidad of KCRW (who put my music on rotation), and top international experimental artists such as Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith have shown support for my sonic explorations.
Check out some examples of work below!
Radio & Playlists: My tracks have traveled globally, finding their way onto radio stations and playlists across continents. I’ve enjoyed BBC Radio play in the UK and frequent spins on KCRW in the US, as well as rotation on Australia’s Triple J and worldwide platforms like Worldwide FM. Online, my songs have been showcased on the Bandcamp Weekly show and selected for Spotify’s Fresh Finds and Apple Music’s editorial playlists. It’s humbling to know that my home-brewed tunes can connect from Tokyo (InterFM) to Paris (Hotel Costes) and beyond.
Industry Highlights: Hiwave’s release opened some exciting doors. It was featured in USA’s world renowened Ghostly International’s Best of 2022 playlist, which was a huge honor as I’ve long admired Ghostly’s artist roster. I’m also grateful to have had my work embraced by fellow artists and DJs around the world – from the soulful crew at Melbourne’s Wondercore Island to international acts like Surprise Chef and support from labels behind acts like BADBADNOTGOOD and Jordan Rakei. Each nod of recognition motivates me to keep pushing my creative boundaries.
“‘A great artist ... Love the sweetness of The Wishing Well and the Daniel Crawford mix of course!’”
“Blending the futuristic and the classic, Cy Gorman’s remix of San Lazaro’s sultry ballad Ladridos is a mesmerizing meeting of two worlds. A a dark, sparse and completely analogue tango ballad twisted into a deeply bent piece of symphonic electronica, synthesizing elements of cumbia, deep house and dub.”
“London/Venezuelan troupe Los Charly’s Orchestra handpick their favourite artists to deliver a series over genre-smelting remixes. The result is an instant party that stretches from the Latin-flecked jazz, to G-funk, breaks, house, disco and loads more. Highlights include the tight slick chops of Cy Gorman & Ennio Styles LA beat flavoured take on Rediscovering The Big Apple”
