about

I was coming into a crossroads as a producer. I had been making club music for the better part of a decade. During the pandemic, I solely focused on the video game tracks because that is where the success was really coming in. But the well was running dry. I was running out of ideas and I needed a new lane. So I began experimenting.

There was a producer who I began listening to religiously named Yung Bae. Yung Bae put out a bunch of records of disco edits of Japanese music. There was one track that I would play on repeat which is called Sailor Babe. I wanted to know which song was the original one used for the song so I looked it up. The original song was a really dope Japanese pop song by an artist named Anri called Lady Sunshine. So I got a hold of the song and listened to it daily trying to figure out what to do with it.

Later that week, I got a message from my friend, Crystal telling me to listen to this song by BTS called Dynamite. After hearing it, I made a blend of it using the instrumental to Mi Gente by J Balvin and then the idea kicked in. I started working at an Amazon warehouse in Union City, Georgia. While at work, I would run tracks through my head trying to imagine how it sounded. I couldn’t wait to go home and test out the sound (mind you, I got off work at 5:30AM and it takes me 40 minutes to get home). When I got back to my apartment, I pulled out my laptop and queued up my records. I threw Lady Sunshine on the deck and realized the track is about 125 beats per minute. If this was going to work, I would have to slow up the record a good amount and had to hope the song didn’t get altered. I turned the tempo down to 105 beats per minute. Then I got hold of some reggaeton stems and went right to work.

As the record played, I realized how amazing this track sounded and now I wanted more. But before that, I had to get this track finished, rendered, mastered, and prepared. I now have a new lane but I solely wanted to focus on K-Pop. So I started gathering my favorite, popular K-Pop tracks from the present and the past and got right to work. Within weeks, I had enough tracks to put an album together. So I went right to Bandcamp and began uploading music.

Once the music was uploaded, the album needed a name. I tried to think of every name imaginable. Then it hit me. I was doing some soul searching with music. The capital of South Korea is … Seoul.

Seoul … Searchin’.

THAT’S IT !!

… and just like that, a new genre was born. Welcome to the world of K-Reggaeton.
