Cory Goldsmith posits that dance music is seldom as simple as it seems. He studies the emotional gray area where melody and rhythm intersect with tempo and timbre through the analytical lens of a scientist. Far be it from him to express his findings in absolute terms. 
 A senior software developer for iZotope with a doctorate in chemical physics, Cory has released on techno labels like IAMT and Reload Records as well as trance imprints like Magic Island Records. His own sound signature sits in a category of its own, though. Cerebral and refined yet purpose-built for the dancefloor, it’s a body of work more than a decade in the making. 
 Cory’s music is instantly recognizable no matter where a given piece may sit on the electronic music spectrum. Each release explores the interplay between emotive chord progressions and visceral textures, yielding a tension and release dynamic put to the test in his high-energy DJ sets. Cory’s refusal to see music in black-and-white terms is serving him well now that he’s come into his own as an artist. 
 Don’t sleep on the doctor. From where Cory Goldsmith sits at the forefront of dance music, the future looks bright as ever.
