DJ Koco doin some quick mixing in his home in Tokyo, 2022. An old soul, DJ Koco brings a classic beat digger’s approach to his impeccable 7-inch selections but peppers them with new-school DJ tricks, and is always a delight to watch. Taking inspiration from OGs like Kid Capri and Rockin Rob, he juggles, beat-matches, and scratches everything from hip-hop, rare funk, obscure disco, and even modern house 45s with ease while being completely blind in one eye. For Wax Poetics’ Record People, Koco speaks in depth about how he got into DJing, his love for 45s, and his approach to building his DJ sets. Head on over to our blog to read the full piece by Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha.
