Collectief van event professionals
In 2016 is Funky Vinyl gestart door Matthijs Spanjaart (DJ Nobody Knows) als dj-collectief. Inmiddels is het collectief uitgebreid met meer dj’s, maar ook muzikanten, artiesten, eventmanagers en technici.
Iedere Funky Vinyl-artiest heeft een eigen stijl en specialisme. We zijn een collectief met een onuitputtelijke bron van muzikale kennis en creativiteit om ieder event invulling te geven. Van alle technische aspecten, tot de aankleding en natuurlijk de muzikale omlijsting.
Dit is hoe klanten onze service, artiesten en DJ's beoordelen
We zijn trots op de events die we mogen verzorgen en nog trotser op de beoordelingen die we daarvoor ontvangen. Hieronder een kleine greep uit onze Google Reviews van klanten die onze artiesten en DJ’s hebben geboekt.
6 goede redenen om voor Funky Vinyl te kiezen
Natuurlijk zijn wij dé vinyl specialist. Maar draaien ook digitaal als er verzoeken zijn die we niet op vinyl hebben. Alles voor de juiste plaat.
De opdracht is bij ons bevestigd bij een ondertekende offerte. De factuur wordt gestuurd in de week voor het feest.
We bespreken alles van tevoren tot in de puntjes. Wat zijn de verzoeken? Welke kant gaat het op met de muziek?
Elke boeking is maatwerk, bij Funky Vinyl huur je een DJ vanaf 175,- per uur voor minimaal 3 uur. (Het kan korter of langer, maar de minimale fee is voor 3 uur)
Wij hebben meer dan 1000 feestjes gedraaid en organiseren zelf ook de meest te gekke feesten.
Wij bouwen alles op en weer af in samenspraak met de locatie. Zelf geen omkijken naar. Wij regelen het.
