"DJ K.K." is a K.K. Slider song that appears throughout the Animal Crossing series. It is inspired by the Eurobeat (a fast Hi-NRG style popular in Japan in the 1990s and 2000s) and Eurodance (a combination of hip-hop, house, and techno that became popular in Europe during the late 1980s and early 1990s) genres. Eurobeat and Eurodance songs were often played at dance clubs by DJs, hence the name. Cookie appears on the colorful album cover that numerously depicts shots of K.K. Slider.

Agent S, Bam (both in New Leaf), Bitty (in Animal Crossing), Caroline, Chief (both before New Horizons), Cookie (in New Leaf), Hazel (in New Horizons), Merry (before New Horizons), Sylvia, Tabby and Tammy (all of the latter three in New Horizons) play this song if they have a stereo in their house.

The song can be obtained by visiting K.K. Slider any Saturday at The Roost between 8 pm and midnight or Club LOL in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

The live version of the song is unusual in that it is the one of a few songs to have been changed between games; the guitar riffs K.K. plays at the beginning of the song are altered between Doubutsu no Mori and Animal Crossing, a change that has extended to every following game in the series. This appears to be out of legal concern, due to the affected riffs sounding similar to the synthesizer riffs heard throughout Dutch Eurodance group 2 Unlimited's 1991 song Get Ready for This.

This song also is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Smashville stage as music that may be played when K.K. Slider appears.

"DJ KK" is also the pseudonym K.K. Slider goes by when performing as Club LOL's DJ Sunday-Friday evenings.
