DJ Music I dj sophisticated upbeat music. The fundamentals of great chords, matching beats and matching the keys of the songs are always used. My own remixes of popular tracks are usually played. Most popular requests will be in my library and I maintain subscriptions to dj services which keep the library current. The dj music library is very extensive and can't be summed up in a short number of words. Some dj music styles performed include: Top 40 House, Tech House, Progressive House, Deep House Modern R&B and Hip Hop Modern Country 90s Rock, Dance, R&B and Hip Hop 80s Rock, Dance and Hip Hop Older 20th Century Music (1900s through 1970s) I take my music seriously and no words can express how hard I work to bring the best music that I can to events. My show is the product of a lifetime of rehearsing, remixing and refining.
