To celebrate my bday this year I’m doing something I’ve wanted to do for years. Change my artist name. During Sustain, I had an epiphany on the dance floor (while watching @futureretrolondon and @s_p_e_c_i_a_l_r_e_q_u_e_s_t tear it up). I realized that a perfect set, is one where you forget there even is a DJ. You become entranced by the music and feel as if it's coming from somewhere higher. The DJ casts a spell over the audience, suspending you in an illusion that for a moment feels eternal. So at their highest form, to me, DJs are magicians, wizards, or The Wizard @jeff_mills_official So for this reason, I'm changing my name to Mago (Mah-goh), Magician in Spanish. Krooked was always supposed to be something temporary, a placeholder. In 2011, after splitting from a DJ/Production duo I was in for 4 years, I needed something to DJ under. It was already something I was tagging, because I liked the letters, so it stuck. I never felt connected to it, and as time passed I felt stuck with it. Plus I've always hated how it sounds. So what better way to celebrate my birthday (27 yay) than to look back at some of my favorite moments as Krooked, recommit myself to this music thing, and to close this chapter of my life. See you on the dancefloor -Mago TLDR: It’s my bday, DJs are magicians, my new name is Mago (Mah-goh), means Magician in Spanish, not El Mago, because i'm not thee magician, I'm one of many. RIP Krooked. Long live Mago
