Sounds Like: // STYLE & SOUND
As a DJ duo, DJ HELICOPTER continues to weave two respective styles into one distinctive, but difficult to pinpoint, signature sound. Sunwoo's penchant for funky, bass-heavy tribal tracks swirls through Gordon's accapella-laced, genre spanning style that's unpredictably edgy and uplifting, often airing subtle hints of Tenaglia-inspired aroma. Dynamically fused together (with not one, but two pairs of hands) DJ HELICOPTER tag-teams a unique style and vibe that exudes the duo as one, yet still distinguishes Sunwoo's yin from Gordon's yang.
