How to unlock DJ KK in Animal Crossing’s Happy Home Paradise

Animal Crossing – New Horizons’ new Happy Home ParadIse DLC doesn’t have an end, per se, but there is a surprise for players after completing 30 resort homes and some facilities — like a hospital and school. This surprise comes as a callback from a fan-favorite New LeafDJ KK.

DJ KK, as you may have guessed, is the acoustic dog performer’s alter-ego: He first showed up in New LeafClub LOL to spin his remixed songs, and play them on the spinning discs. K.K. Slider has brought back the DJ personality of K.K. New HorizonsThrough a floating stage in the Happy Home Paradise resort. It’s a production, and it absolutely rules.

[Ed. note: This story has spoilers for the “ending” of Happy Home Paradise.]

Once you’ve completed a whole bunch of facilities and created 30 resort vacation homes in Happy Home Paradise, you’ll gather on the beach with Lottie, Wardell, and Niko for a little party. Surprise! K.K. Slider — dressed in his DJ KK gear — arrives on a floating, neon-soaked stage to perform.

The island is filled with smoke. The neon lights blink. Everybody starts moving when the beat kicks in. For a while, it’s basically just time to vibe while scrolling through the different creations you’ve made using Happy Home Paradise. When the party continues, you’re also able to dance alongside your island pals — coordinating dance moves to whatever song DJ KK is playing. New HorizonsThere are already a few dance move emotes available for players, but there will be many more to try at the DJ KK Show. Throughout the day and into the night, DJ KK will play remixes of his songs — including “Bubblegum,” which is absolutely a bop.

If you want more of DJ KK, you can invite him to Brewster’s The Roost for a cup of coffee. Specifically with the DJ KK amiibo card, he’ll show up nude — wearing nothing but a hat, glasses, and headphones — claiming that he’s absolutely not KK Slider.
