Portrait of South Korean DJ Berry, also known as Kiyeon Park, representing her funky and rhythmic sound across Glitch Hop, Acid House and underground House music.

South Korean all-female trio Florescence Wav return with a guest show featuring DJ Berry on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an underground electronic music radio station for Asia and internationally, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.


This edition is hosted by DJ Berry, real name Kiyeon Park, from Seoul in South Korea. She made her breakthrough at a Bass club in 2017 and has since developed a musical range that moves from Glitch Hop to Acid House.


Her selections are often funky and rhythmic, shaped by the movement of the crowd and the emotion she feels during a set. That interaction informs how she builds her music, responds to the room and keeps her performances connected to the dancefloor.


Like her co-hosts, DJ Berry comes from Itaewon, one of Seoul’s most cosmopolitan nightlife districts. The neighbourhood is known for bars and clubs that support underground music, giving the trio a strong base within the capital’s electronic music scene.


Away from DJing, she also produces her own tracks. Her first release, Forever, appeared in 2020 as an oriental-leaning chilled breaks track, and later productions can be found through her Beatport artist page.


Recent releases include Go Loco 2, Go Loco, To The Beat, Alien’s Dessert, Homework and Rubber on Crissy Doll House. Earlier tracks such as Berry Fields Forever and Forever appeared through Wobble Warriors Audio, showing her work across Breaks, Minimal Deep Tech and Electro.


As one third of the all-female House music crew Florescence Wav, DJ Berry is part of a trio active across Seoul’s nightlife scene. Their return to the radio station presents another view of South Korea’s underground sound through club-focused selections and original production.


Florescence wav with DJ Berry episode 2 opens with Wood Allen’s Airport ’89, placing the programme inside Acid House through its late 1980s House and Italo House release context. The Break Boys then follow with And The Break Goes On, moving the episode into Breakbeat through its Freestyle, House and Breakbeat listing.


Two Without Hats keep the early section broken and rhythm-led with Believe It Or Not, before Corporation Of One and Kevin Williams move into Classic House with So Where R U. Corporation Of One’s Does Your Dad Drive A Cab keeps that late-1980s New York house sound in place before Kaos returns the programme towards acid-led club pressure.


The 28th St. Crew’s I Need A Rhythm gives the set another Classic House entry before A Guy Called Gerald brings Rhapsody In Acid and Blow Your House Down into the sequence. Those two cuts link the episode to the UK Acid House period, while Kenny ‘Jammin’ Jason and ‘Fast’ Eddie Smith continue the Chicago-rooted acid and house line with Can U Dance.


The Break Boys return with Listen To The Rhythm Flow, keeping the mix close to Breakbeat and 808-driven club structure. Two Without Hats’ The Breeze and Renegade Soundwave’s The Phantom extend the broken rhythm section before Raven Maize and Inner City move the programme back towards Classic House with Together Forever and Big Fun.


Black Riot’s Warlock adds a Todd Terry-linked House reference, keeping the middle of the episode grounded in raw early club material. Don’t Blink’s Acid House then shifts into Tech House through its modern Beatport listing, despite the title’s direct nod to the older sound.


Rockafeller, Bastone and Corporation Of One’s The Real Life returns to Classic House before Maurice introduces one of the clearest Acid House references with This Is Acid. Aphex Twin’s Analogue Bubblebath then moves into Techno, drawing from the early 1990s electronic and acid-techno edge of Richard D. James’ catalogue.


Terry Baldwin and Bud Latour’s I Have A Dream brings the set back into Acid House before Two Without Hats’ Storm Layer restores the Breakbeat thread. Spectrum’s Brazil, Fierce Ruling Diva’s Drug Me and Lhasa’s Feel Dis Beat On then push the episode through Techno, acid and bleep-era club pressure.


Quadrophonia’s Original Statement opens the final run with Breakbeat and Techno energy, followed by Friendly’s Krafty Kuts remix of The Bump ’n’ Grind and Doc Roc’s Turn It Out. DJ Trashy, Tekk and Doc Roc then add We Got The Girls, keeping the sound aligned with breakbeat and Florida breaks-style club rhythm.


Bam Bam’s Give It To Me brings the episode back to Acid House before Original Statement and We Got The Girls repeat as part of the closing blend. Cut The Q’s Who Needs A Love Like That in the Groove Remix then adds a final Classic House turn before Guru Josh and Fierce Ruling Diva raise the late-set rave energy.


A Guy Called Gerald closes the episode with Voodoo Ray, one of the defining Acid House records of the UK late-1980s scene. DJ Berry’s second Florescence wav episode is built around Acid House, Classic House, Breakbeat and early Techno, tracing a route through late-1980s club records, rave foundations and early electronic dance culture.
