Julian Burr's Musical Specialities
We ask all our DJs to pick a maximum of SIX music genres/styles that best matches their specialities. This doesn't mean they aren't any good with other musical styles, but if you're planning an event where you wish to please as many of the audience as possible, you should consider hiring a DJ that specialises in a particular era or style.
Indie / Alternative
Not a genre as such, indie is music produced independently from commercial record labels - often including a DIY element for up-and-coming bands with little capital.
Alternative music often describes bands whose roots were in indie production - but many so-called alternative bands and artists come from mainstream labels too.
Hip Hop / Rap
Stylized rhythmic music commonly accompanied by rapping - rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted.
