There are some local DJs out there whom you instantly associate with unfettered joy and merriment, and Kevin Sy is positively one of them. The lively selector straps into episode 19 of the 15-Min Flash Mix with his leopard print pants, and dishes out an infectious mix that’s oozing with dance-inciting cheekiness; a bite-sized revelry that will wind you up for the weekend.
Kevin Sy – who you might also know over the years affectionately as Chico Pepe – is a casual deck dabbler who’s spun at events organised by The Council, Blackout, Lazy Beatz and more. His sound profile ranges from house to disco, and he’s also a hardware buff who even experiments with his own originals that are as perky as his sprightly personality.
For the 15-Min Flash Mix, Kevin Sy delivers a breezy and bouncy set that spans everything from poolside deep house to Caribbean-infused Afrobeat. It features remixes and original cuts from the likes of Hot Chip, Ninetoes, Momo Saeki, Toru S. and others, showcasing his sweeping breadth in tastes. You’ve got throbbing bongos, fiesta synths and soulful vocal cuts; all part of a ‘Pepe-ry’ package that will tickle and trickle down your nerves. And Kevin Sy will have it no other way.
