Cortex, a part of GCI Technologies, is proud to announce noted New Jersey-based mobile entertainers Marcello Pedalino and Stacy Zemon as the first endorsers of the brand’s revolutionary, patent pending HDC-1000 dual digital music controller which launched to retail this Fall.

Marcello Pedalino’s MMP Entertainment has to be the most award-winning mobile DJ company in America. Choosing to entertain at only one event at a time, Marcello and his team strive for perfection in every facet of their business – sophisticated appearance, consummate professionalism, and impeccable style are their trademarks. Winning DJ Times Magazine’s "Mobile DJ Entertainer of the Year" award this year for the 3rd time seems to say it all about the standards that this Mine Hill, NJ-based DJ holds for himself, his company and his gear.

"(Cortex) is a sensible purchase for the professional DJ who's looking to upgrade their equipment to the digital music platform in a cost-effective manner,” raves Pedalino. “With the USB keyboard search, easy to read LCD screen and it’s simplicity of use, the HDC-1000 demands consideration."

Marcello Pedalino and MMP Entertainment now rock the house with the Cortex HDC-1000.

Described as “one of the most successful women in the (mobile) DJ profession” by Mobile Beat Magazine, Stacy Zemon is widely considered to be a leading authority on the mobile DJ industry. A mobile, karaoke, club, and radio disc jockey as well as noted author of two best-selling books on the mobile entertainment business, The Mobile DJ Handbook and The DJ Sales & Marketing Handbook, Stacy is known as much for her entrepreneurial innovations as her prowess in the DJ booth.

“I don’t miss hauling cases of CDs any more than I miss schlepping crates of records. My transition (to digital) was easy – (the HDC-1000) has the look and feel of a dual-transport CD player, and it’s way cooler than a laptop,” reveals Zemon. “I like the fact that the unit can be used with or without a USB compatible keyboard and that the software is continually upgradeable. I believe Cortex offers the next evolution in music delivery technology.”

Stacy Zemon also rocks the house with the Cortex HDC-1000.

“When working with the Cortex team to develop the HDC-1000, we knew we had something truly innovative in our hands but didn’t know if the DJ community would fully get the concept,” explains GCI Technologies President Alan Cabasso. “Having such influential and respected players in the mobile entertainment industry such as Marcello and Stacy championing the product truly confirms that Cortex is onto something special for the mobile DJ community and beyond.”
