Washington DC’s VJUAN ALLURE is widely considered one of the innovators of ballroom music, to the point of being recognized as the originator of the genre’s “new sound,” setting the standard as well as raising the bar while steadily taking over dancefloors all over the world. Having released hundreds of tracks over the many years that he has spent producing and DJing, his longevity and prolific output testifies of his abilities to inspire as both a producer and as a DJ. Recently the movement to embrace voguing culture has been picking up momentum with increasing enthusiasm, with DJs from Ben UFO to Ikonika playing ballroom music in their sets and producers of all backgrounds adopting the iconic “ha” sample that makes so much ballroom music so distinguishable. Vjuan himself has been making waves in circles outside of ballroom music, with remixes appearing on MikeQ‘s “The Master Blaster EP” and on Bok Bok’s “Southside Remixes EP”.
