Saigon/Hanoi, Vietnam
Ok. First thing first. It’s DJ-ÖRK, like Björk.
It’s no secret that no matter what kind of music DJ-ÖRK/Dan Ni is playing, they shall do so with an intense fervour of madness. Striving to be Vietnam’s cringiest DJ, they’re armed with top 40 gems and a boundless devotion for K-pop ephemeral past and present, bewildering many promoters and club owners alike.
One thing you could always count on DJ-ÖRK to deliver—apart from sick outfits—is the presence of mayhem. Some say it’s musical alchemy, most say pure pandemonium. In their musical tapestries, DJ-ÖRK weaves ancestral tunes with thunderous club beats, slides in viral TikTok sound bites, or dives into the darkest corners of SoundCloud for unhinged edits. As a chaotic angel, Dan Ni wants to obliterate the illusory borders that divide—club vs. non-club, institutional vs. internet, mainstream vs. underground—all while being silly and donning the SHARPEST eyeliner in the room.
