In addition, various latin styles such as latin pop and Chicano rap are also included in the urban music genre, as well as music of Caribbean origin, such as reggae.

What is actually meant by urban music?

The term urban is strongly associated with African-American music, especially with hip-hop and R&B from the United States. For South Americans, Reggaeton and South American hip-hop are considered latin urban, due to the influence of the aforementioned genres. Urban music is therefore used as a description for indicating music and cultural movements that are related to hip-hop, rap, and R&B. Just like much of the early music within the genre, the term itself comes from the United States, where modern R&B and street culture flourished in large cities such as New York and Atlanta in the 1980s and 1990s. All in all, urban literally can be summed up as street music.

When Frankie Crocker, one of the founders of the urban contemporary genre, was appointed as program director of the new radio station WBLS in 1974, he created an eclectic music mix of R&B and disco that pushed the traditional R&B format in a new direction, which became urban contemporary. The station was a huge success and soon became one of the most listened to radio stations in the country. In 1983 this station also became the first radio station to broadcast a rap program, called Rap Attack.

In the early 1980s, the urban genre had meanwhile become an eclectic mix of R&B, rap, reggae, dance, house, and freestyles and WBLS was the leading radio station in this field. The WDRQ radio station from Detroit was also added in the spring of 1982, after this station had switched from a top 40 format to urban contemporary music. In addition to rap, R&B, and dance, WDRQ also played fairly mainstream pop music with catchy beats from artists such as Cyndi Lauper and Culture Club. As a result, the urban genre was further shaped into the music style that we label today as urban.

In the course of the 1990s, urban tracks began to dominate the American charts and from the early 2000s, urban was one of the most commercially successful movements. Both top 40 list, hip-hop, R&B lists were led by urban numbers, with mega hits such as Hey Ya from Outkast, Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg, and a whole host of hits from Usher. Many of the well-known urban artists who began to gain popularity during that period, such as Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Ne-Yo, also moved on to producing more EDM-like tracks later in the 2000's.

What can you expect from a good urban DJ?

Apart from booking the Urban DJ that fits well with your party in terms of music style, it is also important that this artist can play the role that you have in mind for them. We are talking about factors such as communication during the booking process and interaction with the listening audience, to name a few. Ultimately, you will be able to form a good picture of the Urban DJs that you are considering. If you are assisted by an experienced party such as Evenses, this will go a lot faster and be much simpler overall.

An urban DJ can mix urban tracks

It would surprise you how many reasonably experienced DJs can not smoothly mix urban songs. Urban music, such as hip-hop or R&B, sometimes requires a certain form of mixing called slam mixing, where a song is abruptly interrupted and immediately followed by a new song. This is virtually non-existent when mixing electronic dance music. Urban music also mixes much faster compared to styles such as house or techno. If you want to hear urban music at your party be played correctly, make sure the DJ has a lot of experience within the genre.

The urban DJ of your choice is open to suggestions

Booking an Urban DJ for your party or event has many advantages, including the possibility to create a personalized set list together with a professional artist. It is and remains your party of course, so be sure to check with the Urban DJs if they are open to suggestions and take song requests. This way you can give the occasion a personal touch, and allow your guests to listen to songs they specifically want to hear. Planning this out with the artist ahead of time is important so that the DJ and music is prepared on time.

An good Urban DJ does their best to make your party as good as possible

As an organizer you are responsible for the course of the party, but it is always nice if you get some input from different sides during the preparations. This also applies to the DJ that you book. Depending on the occasion, the DJ will have to play tracks for several moments, whether it be during your wedding reception or for the end of an award ceremony. A good DJ will make suggestions or give advice to set the tone for the different moments during the party. Ultimately, the DJ guides carries on the story of your event based on the music they play.
