Music
The Core has several music departments including: Rock, Heavy (Metal Music), Electronic, Hip Hop, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Local, Folk Music, and World Music. Being located near New Brunswick, a college town, the Core is well known among students, as well as the underground music scene. Many local bands have affiliated themselves with the Core, by recording in the studio, performing in Core-organized concerts, or joining the Core as DJs. The music departments are in charge of contacting promoters for new music, reviewing albums, and adding albums into the musical playlists. New music comes in from promoters, either in digital or physical disk form. It is then reviewed and added into the WideOrbit system by the music departments as a playlist, which is a database that allows DJs to play songs on command in addition to pre-recorded announcements, PSAs, and IDs. Each DJ show (unless it is a specialty show) is required to play 6 different playlist songs every hour, which helps diversify the music listened to by the jockeys. The music departments as well as any DJ is allowed to review albums, review concerts, and interview artists. Some bands that have been affiliated with the Core include: Japanese Breakfast, The Hotelier, Petal, and A Great Big Pile of Leaves.
Corefest
Every year since 2011, the Core hosts a music festival at Rutgers called Corefest, with headlines, subheadliners, and local bands.
