| These days you can't swing a cat without hitting a DJ. Rising above the throng of DJs of all typical styles, DJ Appropriate has no style. Wait, that sounds bad. Appropriate has lots of style. In fact, Appropriate is master of all styles. And you get an experienced, cheeseless Emcee too!
It's crucial for a DJ to to read the crowd, so Appropriate comes over-prepared with hundreds of hours of music. At live events it'll shake your ass until you lose a screw or bust a nut. Soundtrack work, the Appropriate stream and recorded mixes also entertain your brain. Sometimes it's thematic: 70's Cheese? All one year? Monkey songs? No problem! Appropriate (aka Tony Brooke / Sultan of Suitability / Apostle of Apt / Prince of Pertinence) is available for events, production and film soundtrack supervision (California and beyond). Contact him for MP3 mixes, and see the previous client list. For examples, see themed playlists below. Upcoming gigs:Every Wednesday night at 7:30pm,

A three-hour mix of tunes about monkeys, in four thematic parts (!). Veers from blues to pop to hard rock to hip-hop to funk. Made for a Hellbound Monkey themed party, it raged out of control King-Kong-style and took o

Grooving car tunes, road rockers, fun dumb drivin' tunes and a few sweet pretty tunes. See the playlist...
This one is ridiculous, made for a bachelor party. No redeeming social value at all. Watch It: dirty lyrics, sexual content, funky attitude. If you've never heard innuendo, ask your parents what it means and welcome to the big bad dirty world. See the playlist...
All that was really needed here was to put on the extended dance mix of Village People's "YMCA" for 5 hours. Nahh, there were other tunes too. Held at the Argent Hotel's swanky ballroom in San Francisco, 4/03 and 4/04.
A bizarre mashup remix combining 4 versions of the SpiderMan theme song.
