Retro DJ with nearly 30 years of experience playing, mixing, and curating the highest quality collection of classic dance music anywhere! Playing only '70s, '80s, and '90s music within genres of disco, funk, pop, rock, new wave, house, & even some old school hip hop (clean edits only)...all mixed the manual old-school way. No "sync" button! :)
Since retiring from nightclub DJ life, I’ve since spent a scary amount of time accumulating a massive classic music collection, & now specialize in playing for environments where the importance is great classic party music, good times and sound quality over gimmicks, image construction, and taking oneself too seriously. :)
I hope to play for you!
DJ FunkyBeak elevated our party to another level!! Excellent music, perfect mixes, kept the crowd dancing for hours! Thank you so much!
Response from DJ FunkyBeak:
Thank you so much Sarah, it was a pleasure to play for your event!!
We are forever grateful for DJ Funkybeak’s incredible ability to make everyone footloose at our events last summer! Strangers gathered to his sound and became one big family on the dance floor.
We were pleasantly surprised to see him spin vinyls the old school way, enhancing the whole experience and authenticity. Beak’s diverse and organized playlists of Disco, Funk, 70’s 80’s, SynthPop & New wave reached everybody’s eras and genre preference which made everyone kick off their shoes.
My favorite memory of the summer together was seeing all ages dancing the night away not knowing what they just stumbled upon and wishing the music will never stops.
Lastly, Spencer’s professionalism and reliability throughout the parties put us, organizers, at ease. Always on time and prepared to give his 100%. He was an excellent moral support to our parties, we couldn’t have done it without his positive energy. He is truly the reason to our event’s success and continuation!
We wish you the best in pursuing your passion! It was an honour to have you DJ and we hope to collaborate again at our upcoming events!
Sincerely,
Valery, Shauna & Amanda

In essence, you'll get a fun and friendly, yet professional DJ who probably has the largest and most diverse collection of retro dance music that you'll find in Vancouver. In my lifetime I have amassed a massive collection of '70s, '80s and '90s dance music ranging from disco, funk, synth pop, new wave, old school hip hop, and other sub-genres...all sourced from the highest resolution audio possible.
I have many years of beat mixing experience with all kinds of retro dance music, and I know how to properly work a dance floor for maximum enjoyment...including creating several of my own mixes and special edits on-the-fly to keep things flowing properly.
WHAT I PROVIDE:
✔ A great mix of old school music, mixed seamlessly;
✔ A massive retro music catalog (yes, I take requests!);
✔ A friendly, professional, yet fun & fancy free demeanour;
✔ Reliable, on-time performance;
✔ Professional, reliable equipment & setup;
✔ A memorable time for your guests.
WHAT I DON'T PROVIDE:
❌ Current top 40 music. Although I have a very small selection of some more recent hits, I'm predominantly a retro music guy :)
❌ Explicit lyrics. In order to keep my gigs open and welcoming to all, I play only clean edits of songs that require it. But feel free to sing along with whatever lyrics you like if that's your thing! :)
❌ An obnoxious amount of microphone use
So, if you like what you see and hear, and are looking for a DJ for your retro-themed event who won't let you down, I'm your guy!
I hope to hear from you :)
Hello! My name is Spencer, aka DJ FunkyBeak. I'm a late-40's music aficionado who's originally from Winnipeg, but have been in Vancouver for nearly 20 years. I started DJing with vinyl in 1993 as a 17 year old, did the nightclub DJ thing for about 14 years before semi-retiring, putting my focus on curating and collecting dance music from the '70s up to the early 2000's. Then finally in 2020 I started getting back into it, playing online via Facebook, Twitch and Mixcloud during the pandemic to rediscover my love for playing the kinds of music I've always loved best. Since the pandemic I have played several roller-disco type events both indoor and outdoor as well as some dance parties.
