你在夜店聽過原住民古調嗎?
當電氣節拍的重低音，與阿美族的吟唱交織， 那不是單純的音樂混搭，而是古老靈魂與現代 節拍相遇的文化激盪。而創造這場聲響革命的， 是來自花蓮七腳川光榮部落的 DJ 汝妮。
小時候在城市念書的汝妮，曾因阿美族身分 遭遇歧視，讓她下意識藏起自己的身分與優異 表現。然而，被壓抑的自我，在填寫大學志願時， 悄然甦醒。汝妮決定攻讀法律，希望為原住民和 漢人之間的不平等發聲;更重要的是，電音在 此時進入她的人生。
在社團博覽會上，汝妮偶然接觸到電音，沒 想到因此展開業餘 DJ 之路。相較於早期臺灣流行 美式電音，汝妮受到義大利籍同學影響，反而特別 喜愛歐式電音「Techno」，「Techno 是不斷堆疊的， 彷彿帶你進入一個空間，可能在失戀或任何特殊 情境下，提供舒壓和逃離感。」
雖然熱愛且持續鑽研電音，汝妮從來沒想過 DJ 能成為正職工作，因此大學畢業後，她陸續擔 任立委助理、從事行銷企劃，成為工作穩定的 上班族。直到兩次關鍵的海外經歷，包括在紐西蘭 時，看見毛利人如何驕傲地展現自己的文化; 在澳洲時，則意外在派對中被推上 DJ 臺，才讓她 確立要以 DJ 為業，並決定投入原民音樂與電音的 結合，「看到毛利人對於自身文化的自豪，讓我 也想深入探究阿美族的文化與傳統。」
Have you ever heard indigenous ancient chants in a nightclub?
When the deep bass of electronic music fuses with the ancient melodies of the Pangcah people, it’s more than just a remix. It’s a meeting of ancestral spirit and modern rhythm. At the heart of this sonic revolution stands DJ Dungi Sapor, from the Rinahem Tribe of the Cikasuan community in Hualien.
Raised in the city, Dungi once hid her Pangcah identity after facing discrimination. In college, she chose to study law, determined to speak up for indigenous rights.
At a campus club fair, Dungi stumbled upon electronic music, and that moment sparked her DJ journey. Inspired by the European “Techno” scene, she found “Techno’s ever-building, layering beats help people unwind and escape.”
After graduating from college, she entered the workforce, but two turning points abroad changed everything. In New Zealand, she witnessed how the Māori proudly embraced their culture. Later in Australia, a spontaneous chance to step behind the DJ booth at a party reignited her calling. That night, she knew she wanted to pursue DJing full-time, and fuse indigenous music with electronic sounds.
