not your usual run-of-the-mill DJs
My guess is that it could mean something like this - though the phrasing may be a bit awkward to work in. I'm guessing that "glocalisée" could have a "world music" connotation (global/local) which, if true, might help with an appropriate term.

Actually I've just realised that the inattendues (adjective agreement) will refer to the music - so maybe not your usual run of the mill dance tunes etc.

: I think that "inattendues" qualifies "musiques" (note the "e" at the end of inattendu)

Interesting music played live or by a DJ
If "inattendues" refers to music, which it must, it is probably refering to the originality/uniqueness of the music played at this place
