Michael Dunlop has thousands of fans throughout the world, but not many would expect a superstar DJ to be among them.
The Ballymoney road racer is preparing for another tilt at the Isle of Man TT.
Dunlop is currently the third most successful rider at the event, with his 19 wins just seven behind his legendary Uncle Joey's record.

The 33-year-old will be looking to add to his own tally this year, and he will have the biggest dance DJ in the world backing him all the way.
Carl Cox is a massive fan of Dunlop, and motorcycle racing.
He set up his own race team in 2013 and currently backs Dunlop under the Carl Cox Motorsport banner.
Dunlop delivered CCM its first TT win in 2014 with main man Cox in attendance.
Recalling the win, Cox told BBC Sounds: "It can't be true that this has happened to us already.
"I almost became a lucky mascot for him in that sense because that year he was phenomenal on everything.
"The history of the Dunlops is rich and deep and for me to be a part of that is incredible."
Dunlop returns to the Isle of Man TT in 2022 where he will ride under Carl Cox Motorsport on his MD Racing Yamaha Supersport and Honda Superstock machines.
Cox will be an avid spectator on the Mountain Course, travelling all the way from Australia to watch the big road race fortnight which runs from May 29 to June 10.
“I could not be more excited for TT2022,” Cox added in the News Letter.
“I can’t believe it’s not run since 2019, so the level of expectation is massive.
"I love supporting Michael and it was so good to see him immediately on the pace at the North West 200 road race recently, whilst young Davey Todd has also been on mega form."
