The band started off being inspired by Balkan music, and the music has been described as "gypsy" in style.{{Cite web |date=2016-06-10 |title=Stani Vana: "In Österreich haben wir eine tolerante Gesellschaft" |url=https://www.meinbezirk.at/c-leute/stani-vana-in-oesterreich-haben-wir-eine-tolerante-gesellschaft_a1748548 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221023215250/https://www.meinbezirk.at/c-leute/stani-vana-in-oesterreich-haben-wir-eine-tolerante-gesellschaft_a1748548 |archive-date=2022-10-23 |access-date=2023-08-11 |website=MeinBezirk.at |language=de}}{{Cite web |title=La playa de Tavernes vibra con la locura balcánica del Iboga Summer Festival |url=https://www.elperiodic.com/tavernes_valldigna/playa-tavernes-vibra-locura-balcanica-iboga-summer-festival_386028 |access-date=2023-08-14 |website=elperiodic.com |language=es}} DelaDap gradually moved away from the Balkan genre,{{Cite web |last=brigitte.schokarth |date=2016-10-13 |title=Mit Pippi und Platon zum Ziel |url=https://kurier.at/kultur/mit-pippi-und-platon-zum-ziel/225.245.348 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022133157/https://kurier.at/kultur/mit-pippi-und-platon-zum-ziel/225.245.348 |archive-date=2022-10-22 |access-date=2023-08-11 |website=kurier.at |language=de}} and by 2016 had left it. They now play in the swing and EDM genres.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-19 |title=Es begann in einer meiner Quarantänen |url=https://m.noen.at/hallo-mostviertel/nnoa-es-begann-in-einer-meiner-quarantaenen-nofb-340350651 |access-date=2023-08-14 |website=m.noen.at |language=de}} Stani Vana explained the shift as the Balkan genre being too taxing on the band.
