Rob's Musical Specialities

Here are some of the specialist music genres for Rob - this isn't an exhaustive list - just the areas where this DJ has the widest knowledge and experience

	Soul A pop genre originating with African American musicians in the 1950s and 1960s combining elements of gospel, rhythm & blues as well as jazz. Soul became popular for dancing and listening in the US where labels such as Motown, Atlantic and Stax were prevalent.
	Chart 'Chart' is a catch-all category to mean music that is popular right now and very recently. The kinds of stuff you will hear on BBC Radio 1 and 2, along with commercial stations, and is generally of interest to typical casual listeners / dancers.
	Rock & Roll A specific type of rock/pop music that had its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, originating from rhythm and blues as well as country music. Typically a rock & roll track will have a dance rhythm with an accentuated backbeat usually provided by a snare drum, and typically played on two or three electric guitars - lead, rhythm and bass (although some bands prefer a double bass).
	Ska / 2-Tone The precursor to the Reggae movement, Ska originated in Jamaica and is characterised by a walking bass line with rhythms on the off beat. In the late 1970s the 2-tone Ska movement in the UK fused Jamaican ska rhythms with faster tempos and a slightly harder edge by bands such as Madness, The Specials, The Beat and The Selecter.
	2000s Hip Hop dominated popular music in the early 2000s with artists such as Eminem, OutKast, Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Jay-Z and many others coming to the fore. Garage music was also popular thanks to the emergence of social media platforms such as MySpace and this style veered into the mainstream when bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The Killers and The Bravery became popular. Pop singers such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and bands such as Backstreet Boys also dominated the charts. The 2010s saw a big shift in the style of vocals associated with pop music, with lower range artists such as Beyonce, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Rihanna outselling the popular artists of the late 2000s. Again Hip Hop and electronic dance music were dominant thanks to DJs and artists such as David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Clean Bandit, Aviici and Calvin Harris. Adult contemporary music was big in this decade, with artists such as Adele, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Kelly Clarkson and CeeLo Green all incorporating soul, pop rock and folk into their music.
