ABOUT

Vancouver's retro music specialist! Open format DJ with over 30 years of experience playing, mixing, and curating the highest quality and largest collection of classic dance music. Specializing in '70s, '80s, '90s and early-to-mid 2000s music within genres of disco, funk, pop, rock, new-wave, house, & hip hop!

Whether it 's a house party, wedding, corporate event or otherwise, I work hard to get the crowd in a groove, and keep 'em there :). I specialize in playing for environments where the top priority is great classic party music, great times and the best sound quality possible.

Optional sound system and DJ lighting is available as well!

With me, you'll get a fun and friendly, yet professional open format 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 GUARANTEE:

• 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.

I hope to hear from you!
