hip, funky, daring

In this context, this is how I'd read the phrase. And I think it's coming from the expression 'to be on the cutting edge of something' which means you're ahead of the rest, the first to do something. In general, should mean that the DJ's are hip and funky, using new slang, playing extremely new music...stuff like that.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Vixen!
agree Richard Benham : Also, exciting rather than relaxing. [Perhaps overtones of being on the edge of your seat here too. Oh, and maybe hard-edged.] New slang: not like "hip and funky"!
