Seoul's DJ co.kr Makes His Jakarta Debut With a New EP on Peggy Gou's Gudu Records

A New EP, A New City

Mixmag Asia reports that Seoul producer co.kr, pronounced "koh-ker," headlines the second chapter of The Pursuit at Velvet The Social Club in Jakarta on November 19, alongside Hogi and Kenny Gabriel. It's his first time playing the city.

He's bringing a reason to show up beyond the lineup. After School is a four-track house EP, out now on Peggy Gou's Gudu Records, that blends Baltimore club drum grooves, UK garage and reggae.

"So I'm considering playing a set centred around funky and uplifting house music to celebrate 'After School,'" he told Mixmag Asia.

A Decade Bridging Seoul and the UK

Co.kr has spent the better part of a decade building a bridge between UK-flavoured club sounds and Korea's fast-moving scene. He runs Ghetto-Ray, the Seoul party he uses to bring those sounds home.

His catalogue backs that up. In 2025, he and fellow Seoul DJ h4rdy released the Top Shotta EP on Fool's Gold Records, a project born after co.kr met A-Trak at a gig in Seoul. The title track features grime MC Logan_olm, while "Toma" folds speed garage, baile funk, early dubstep and hard house into one record.

More of the city's rooms are covered in Loopliner's guide to Seoul's best techno and house clubs.

Gudu Records, which released 'After School', is Peggy Gou's own imprint. She started it so she could, in her words, "be my own boss with my own music". The name borrows the Korean word for shoes, and doubles as a pun on "Peggy Gou does".
