Everyone thinks DJs only play in bars, discos and exciting places, Tung shared.

Fortunately, there are many people with the same opinion as me, so the music I mix is ​​also welcomed by everyone,” Tung said.

Tung shared, over 10 years of playing music, I have remixed songs to serve young people who are passionate about dancing. For many years now, Tung has become a “commodity” that young dancers “scramble for” when he has to “serve” every week in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. “Playing music for passion and in return for everyone’s love, but catxes don’t have enough money for plane tickets,” Tung said with a laugh.

Sharing more about his upcoming plans, Mr. Tung said: “Vietnamese people dance very well, but they are disadvantaged because they still have to go out thanks to foreign music. In the coming time, I will consider mixing Vietnamese songs with the characteristics of Vietnamese music with the point of view of cultural integration such as the Northwest flute or from pure Vietnamese songs. Tung shared, to mix a Vietnamese song, it takes at least a week before playing directly on the DJ table. “This is an artistic activity, not that it can be mixed. I will do it when the mood is most comfortable”, Mr. Tung shared his upcoming plan.

Currently, Mr. Tung is still creating a private playground for the entire Afro-Latin Street dance community in Hanoi. With the right desire to build community with the exchange nature of street dance.
