DJ Format

Influenced predominantly by golden-age hip-hop of the late '80s and early '90s, DJ Format is a British DJ/producer affiliated with  who dabbles in other old-school breakbeat-driven styles as well, as showcased on his variety of mix albums. 

The title of his 2003 debut album says it all: Music For The Mature B-Boy. That’s DJ Format for you, boiled down to the essence. He’s the grown up producer/beatmaker who, admittedly, spends far too long digging for bafflingly scarce records to sample and play in clubs.

Format’s DJ sets are like long form versions of these productions –  meticulous on the execution and built on the deep crates he’s spent years building.  

Catch him behind the decks at a spot near you. His high-octane sets of soul, funk, Latin, and feel-good hip hop, have rocked spots the world over. And he’s never happier than when he gets the chance to share his music with people just like you.
