#데패뉴구 [ENG interview included] 내 알고리즘을 장악한 K-Pop 믹싱 장인, DJ Ethan Ko가 궁금하다 🎧
K-Pop 믹싱으로 알고리즘을 장악한
한국계 미국인인 믹싱 장인 데패뉴 뽀이 Ethan Ko!
그의 믹스가 화제가 되면서 아일릿의 모카와 이로하가
춤추는 영상을 찍기도 했습니다.
뉴진스의 ETA가 최애곡이라고 밝힌
그에게 궁금한 것들을 물어봤습니다 🤍
1️⃣Who are you?
My name is Ethan Ko.
I’m a 22-year-old DJ from Kansas City, Kansas, and I’m currently in my final semester at Kansas State University majoring in mechanical engineering.
2️⃣What inspired you to start mixing?
I started mixing because of NewJeans, DJ Nickcheo, and my trip to Korea.
Back in January, I heard Nick mix my favorite NewJeans song “How Sweet” with BigXthaPlug’s “Mmhmm,” and that was the first time I thought, “I want to learn how to mix music like that.”
In March, I visited Seoul and got to watch DJs perform live in Apgujeong and Itaewon.
3️⃣What’s your favorite mix you’ve made?
My favorite mix is definitely the one combining ILLIT’s “Magnetic” with Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like.”
It went viral, and seeing ILLIT’s Moka and Iroha dance to my mix was honestly shocking in the best way.
4️⃣What kind of mixes do you want to try in the future, and what are your upcoming plans?
Going forward, I want to mix more K-POP groups and Korean artists I haven’t covered yet.
This December, I’ll be making my live show debut at a K-POP party in LA,
and next May, I’m planning to visit both Korea and Japan!
