Prepare to be amazed! Even the world of DJ sets isn't safe from the captivating influence of KPop Demon Hunters. Yes, you read that right! Actor Elijah Wood, known for his iconic roles, recently included tracks from the KPop Demon Hunters in his DJ set, proving that the music phenomenon has truly taken over. This news comes from Alejandra Gularte, a Vulture news blogger, who covers the entertainment industry, offering insights into the latest trends.
After a Halloween filled with Rumis and Saja Boys costumes and a Grammy nomination, the KPop Demon Hunters have reached another milestone: an Elijah Wood DJ set. On November 6, during a performance in Anchorage, Alaska, Wood, as part of his DJ duo Wooden Wisdom, played "Golden" to an enthusiastic audience. Zach Cowie, the other half of Wooden Wisdom, playfully mentioned, "This is a song we learned about from Elijah’s three-year-old daughter." Wood jokingly added, "It's true, but you'll all know it!" This highlights how the song has resonated with both children and adults.
Now, you might be wondering, "Frodo as a DJ?" Well, you're not alone! Wood and Cowie have been DJing together since before 2015. They met at a party, discovered their musical chemistry, and eventually started using only vinyl for their performances. The recent release of the KPop Demon Hunters vinyl soundtrack made it a perfect addition to one of Wood’s many side projects.
But here's where it gets interesting... What does this tell us about the ever-expanding reach of KPop Demon Hunters? Is this a sign of the music's universal appeal, or is it just a fun coincidence?
And this is the part most people miss... This crossover between mainstream entertainment and niche music genres is a fascinating trend. It opens up a discussion about how artists are diversifying their creative endeavors.
