'''DJ KK''' is an alter ego of [[K.K. Slider]] that first appears in {{NL}}. Unlike the regular K.K., DJ KK routinely plays on a turntable instead of playing with a guitar.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
DJ KK is identical in appearance to K.K. Slider, as a white-furred [[dog]] with thick black eyebrows. However, he now wears a different outfit with black thick-rimmed glasses, an orange beanie, and headphones. In {{PC|short}}, DJ KK wears a black shirt with "KK" written on it.

===Personality===
In contrast to his more mellow personality as K.K. Slider, DJ KK is displayed as outgoing and active, becoming a so-called "life of the party." He can be seen jumping and even dancing as he plays music on his turntable. While they are indicated to be the same individual, DJ KK often acts as if he is a different person, and leaves the question up in the air when asked; this may indicate that he takes the persona to avoid recognition.

==Appearances==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
In {{NL}}, DJ KK performs remixed tunes of his tracks for the [[player]] to listen to in [[Club LOL]] every day (except Saturday where the regular K.K. performs) from 8 PM to 6 AM. Every night alternates between House Night, remixes using K.K.'s guitar, and NES Night (Famicom Night in Japan), which uses 8-bit remixes. 

On the player's [[birthday]], DJ KK will play a special remix of "[[K.K. Birthday]]," and during [[New Year's]] he will play a remix of {{NL|short|nolink}}{{'}}s title theme. The player can also place up to four [[Gyroid]]s on Club LOL's stage which will randomly make noise to the beat. During DJ KK's concerts, the player can perform different dances by pressing directions on {{Input|dpad|console=3DS}}.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
While initially absent from {{NH}}, DJ KK makes his reappearance in version {{NHVer|2.0}} update. He can be invited to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] and [[The Roost]]. He mentions when invited to The Roost that he may or may not be K.K. Slider.

====In {{HHP|short|nolink}}====
In {{HHP}}, DJ KK appears upon the player designing the [[apparel shop]], which is unlocked by designing 30 total homes. Upon the first activation of the event, "ending" sequences occurs with the player dancing alongside [[Lottie]], [[Niko]], [[Wardell]], and various [[villager]]s, alongside a recap of the various [[Villager house|houses]] they designed. This sequence can be replayed during music festivals by talking to employees of [[facilities]] or Lottie, Niko and Wardell and selecting "Let's go dancing!". If facility employees are invited, any other villagers inside the facilities appear in the sequences instead of the villagers on the beach. Additionally, [[Wilbur]] can also be invited to dance, in which case the opening of the sequence focuses on him instead of the player. After the first music festival performance, Wardell explains to the player, Lottie, and Niko that DJ KK was a friend of his, subsequently inviting him to the main archipelago island.

After the initial event, DJ KK hosts a music festival on the main archipelago island every two weeks, lasting from 6 PM on Sunday to 12 AM on Tuesday. After a few music festivals, the event cycles throughout the week, lasting from 6 PM until 12 AM 2 days later every two weeks. Additionally, wooden pillars are constructed on the beach the day before the music festival starts.

During the event, villagers that the player designed houses for wear special t-shirts and bandanas, while villagers who have not had houses designed for them simply wear their default clothing. Additionally, during the event, the apparel shop sells parts of the outfits the villagers wear to the event. DJ KK plays house remixes of his songs like he does in {{NL|short|nolink}}; all songs except "[[K.K. Birthday]]" have remixes. While the remixes sound very similar to the ones in {{NL|short|nolink}}, they are not the same remixes, with a cymbal crash being added to the intro of songs, and some songs such as "[[K.K. Jongara]]" have their transitions to intermissions altered. The event's intro cutscene and intermissions use a remix of the leitmotif from {{HHP|short|nolink}}{{'}}s designing themes. The intermissions and outro can vary in key depending on the song played before.

Unlike in {{HHD|short}}, DJ KK has a separate house from K.K. Slider rather than simply being an alternate outfit. Neither DJ KK nor K.K.'s vacation homes can be visited while DJ KK is performing at the archipelago because he "isn't there," despite the fact that the vacation home of any other [[special character]] can be visited while they are performing their job— even while K.K. Slider is performing on the player's home island, both his and DJ KK's homes can be visited.

===In {{HHD|short|nolink}}===
In {{HHD}}, "K.K. Slider" and "DJ KK" are alternate outfits for the singular entity referred to as "K.K." Their dialogue is identical.

===In {{aF|short|nolink}}===
In {{aF}}, DJ KK makes an appearance as K.K. Slider's Lv. 2 outfit for the [[Board Game]].

===In {{PC|short|nolink}}===
In {{PC}}, {{I|DJ KK's beat booth|PC}} is a special furniture that was available from April 27 to June 26, 2019. This furniture is obtainable by crafting and costs {{Currency|Leaf Tickets|350|nb=yes}}. While using the booth, he will cycle between remixes of the game's main theme, the [[Campsite (Pocket Camp)|Campsite]] theme, and the [[OK Motors]] theme.

From April 30 to May 11, 2019, DJ KK appeared as the host of the [[garden event]] "Idle Beats with DJ KK."

==Trivia==
*In {{NL|nolink}} and {{NH|nolink}}, there is a running joke where villagers are not quite sure if DJ KK and K.K. Slider are the same person,{{Citation Needed}} which DJ KK will refuse to confirm or deny in {{NH|short|nolink}}. However, they are confirmed to be the same person in {{HHD}}, and in {{NH|nolink}}, the player cannot use amiibo to create a situation where both DJ KK and K.K. Slider exist in the same place.
*DJ KK appears on the covers of "[[Two Days Ago]]" and "[[K.K. House]]."
*It is implied that [[Wardell]] is friends with DJ KK, and that is why he hosts concerts on the [[Archipelago]].
*Series sound director [[Kazumi Totaka]] said in an interview in ''Weekly Famitsu'' #1250 that he came up with the idea for DJ KK because he wanted to find a new way to incorporate K.K.'s many songs. This also led to the idea of [[music box]] items.
*Other than K.K. Slider, his original persona, DJ KK also shares his [[birthday]] with [[Nana]].
