Fans and artists alike debate the identity of the mysterious masked DJ that goes by Pickle. 

Pickle is a house DJ that first sparked discussion in the dance music scene in 2019. They made their debut with the upbeat heater “Body Work”, a track too good to ignore, on Spinnin’ Records SPRS. At the time of his introduction to the scene, the artist shared social media footage with industry leaders like deadmau5, Diplo, Hardwell, and Fisher

It’s clear this character runs with the big dogs, but who is the pickle DJ? Do they represent an alias of another famous DJ, or are they truly a newbie?

The rave community has been repping the masked DJ at many shows and festivals ever since he gained massive recognition. Some of our favorite Pickle DJ-inspired looks include the classic pickle costume and quirky pickle bucket hat.

Pickle has been steadily sharing content and releasing tunes since their debut three years ago, but within the past few months, the “who is DJ Pickle” questions have been surfacing on the internet again. Pickle made their first major headline performance just last week at Academy LA, having stirred up the latest rumors regarding their identity.

Although Pickle has yet to reveal their identity, fans have been taking some wild guesses as to who is behind the project. A couple of fans have jokingly pointed to Datsik as the culprit, with one comment reading, “I’m Pickle Datsik, bitch!” On the other hand, Luca Lush’s guess? John Summit. And he’s not the only one that’s connected John Summit to the pickle.

John Summit, who has become somewhat of a meme himself on Twitter, played along owning up to it, “hey guys u know that dj who is a pickle? it’s actually me. also i’m marshmello.” At the same time, Jauz (probably jokingly) identified the pickle as Dillon Francis.

Just as there are fans who can’t get enough of the Pickle, there are several haters as well. But all publicity is good publicity, right? Expect to see more from Pickle this summer. Their new track “Body Heat” is set for release next Friday, 6/10.

Pickle DJ’s colorful statement fashion pieces like this green varsity jacket are also part of what make his unique persona strike out. Some other Pickle DJ-inspired looks to wear to your next show or festival are this dabbing pickle shirt and pickle squad shirt to match with your rave squad!

I've been a part of the dance music scene for nearly a decade and with Exron for more than half of that time. My first event was Diplo's Mad Decent but these days you'll find me at Club Space or the Brooklyn Mirage. Some of my top artists are G Jones, Tipper, Of The Trees, and CharlestheFirst. My favorite genres are techno, experimental bass, and ambient but I'll get down to anything with a beat!

What's your reaction?
