Afrobeats, Hip-Hop & R&B DJ in London The Sound.

Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, R&B, Old School, French Rap, UK Urban

One London DJ working from four crates at once. The Portuguese family crate. The French rap crate built around Cut Killer mixtapes and late-night radio. The London open-format crate. And the R&B catalogue underneath all three. All four live inside every set.

Origin Story

One DJ. Four Universes.

A live set built on the night. The arc shifts in real time as the floor fills and the crowd changes shape. No pre-mixed playlist, no algorithm, just a DJ choosing the next record after watching the floor.

Here is what Deejay Tin'Ok plays, how each universe sounds, and which events each fits best.

The Four Universes

Four crates London dancefloors actually respond to.

Three deep universes - Afrobeats, Hip-Hop and R&B - all carrying the same Old School backbone. Here is how each one sounds, what it covers, and where it fits.

01, Universe

Afrobeats & Afro-Pop

The energy

Afrobeats is the genre that makes strangers dance together on the same floor. Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Tems, and a deep layer of cuts the streaming algorithm has not found yet.

What the set covers

Afrobeats (Nigerian, Ghanaian)
Afro-Pop crossovers
Amapiano
UK Afro (NSG, Not3s, WizKid London era)

Perfect for

Club nights, Private parties, Summer festivals

The Lusophone edge

That Portuguese family side feeds the Afrobeats crate Deejay Tin'Ok plays from. It hits differently when the person playing it grew up with it.

02, Universe

Hip-Hop - Old School to New

The energy

From boom-bap fundamentals to UK drill crossovers. Raised in France on Cut Killer, NTM and the first wave of American hip-hop reaching Europe. Not a nostalgia act. A DJ who lived that music and still plays it with the same hunger.

What the set covers

90s East Coast & West Coast classics (Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z)
2000s anthems (Eminem, Kanye, Lil Wayne)
French rap era (NTM, IAM, Booba, Rohff)
UK Hip-Hop & Grime (Stormzy, Skepta, Dave, Headie One)
Contemporary Trap and Rap crossovers

Perfect for

Club nights, University events, Urban private parties, Brand activations

The French rap angle

French hip-hop is one of the richest scenes in the world - and almost no London DJ plays it. A Deejay Tin'Ok hip-hop set brings a French-rap lane most London crowds have never heard live.

03, Universe

R&B - Slow Jams to Modern RnB

The energy

R&B was the first doorway into DJing. Before the crossover blends, before the big club sets, there was the groove. Vocals with space in them. Drums that breathe. The room starts singing when the chorus hits.

What the set covers

90s R&B (Aaliyah, TLC, Blackstreet, Mary J. Blige)
00s slow jams and hip-hop soul (Usher, Beyoncé, Ne-Yo, Alicia Keys)
2010s modern RnB (Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Jhené Aiko)
2020s contemporary (SZA, Brent Faiyaz, Chlöe)

Perfect for

Private parties, Weddings, Corporate evenings, Intimate club nights

FAQ

The Sound - Common Questions.

Useful details for bookers, venues and event organisers looking for an open-format urban DJ in London.

Can the set lean more Afrobeats, more Hip-Hop, or more R&B?

Yes. Each booking is briefed in advance, so the set can sit at 70% Afrobeats with hip-hop accents, run as a full hip-hop night with an R&B warm-up, or stay open-format. Whatever the room actually needs.

Can I include French rap, UK drill or grime?

Yes. French rap (NTM, IAM, Booba, Rohff, Ninho) and UK hip-hop, drill and grime (Stormzy, Skepta, Dave, Headie One) sit right at the centre of the hip-hop universe and can carry an entire set.

Is this suitable for weddings, corporate events and private parties?

Yes, especially for mixed-age rooms. The set tends to open on R&B, build through Afrobeats and peak with hip-hop, all adapted live to the crowd in front of the booth.

Do you take requests?

Yes. Send a short must-play list before the event and we'll work it in. The final flow still gets adapted live to the room, the timing and the energy on the floor.

Every Set Is Different

Four Universes. One Set.

These four universes are a working vocabulary. Four crates that can be blended, layered and shifted on the night, depending on the crowd, the venue and the brief.

A wedding cocktail

Might start with smooth R&B, move through Afrobeats as the floor fills, and close with hip-hop anthems.

A club night

Might open with lusophone Afro, build through UK urban, and peak with Afrobeats at the top of the hour.

This is what a real DJ set is: a conversation, not a genre.
