Andy Spencer has been involved with the music industry since the late 1980’s.
Today, he still possesses the same passion and enthusiasm for music but with the added knowledge and experience to know what makes a crowd scream with approval!
Like many DJ’s of his era, Andy has progressed from playing vinyl records to CDs, and has established a great understanding of the Pioneer CDJ1000’s and various professional mixer units.

And certainly the last 10 years have demonstrated that Andy can ‘mix it with the best’, with appearances at the Winter Music Conference, Miami, plus DJ sets at the Ministry of Sound, London, the Custard Factory, Birmingham, Fez Club,
Cambridge, Club North, Manchester, Rapture, Loughborough, Escapade, Newport, and Studio 54, Coventry.

Some of these appearances have been alongside established DJ’s such as
• Seamus Haji (Big Love)
• Mark Doyle (Fierce Angel/Hed Kandi)
• Dan Smith (Danism/Defected)
• Michael Gray (Full Intention)
• Sonny Wharton (Toolroom)
• Jim ‘Shaft’ Ryan (Miss Moneypenny’s)
• Jeff Jefferson (Miss Moneypenny’s)
• Tom Heron (Café Mambo)
• Miss Divine (Cream)
• Claire Spooner (Pacha)
• Andy Nicholls (Love Shy)
• Jon Vickers (Ibiza Rocks)
• Rid Welson (Naughty But Nice)
• Dave Pearce (Dance Anthems)
• and the late, great Tony De Vit (Trade).

He has also had mixes featured on radio via BRMB FM’s DanceMasters show and Riley & Durrant on Galaxy FM.

Although he started DJ’ing back in 1988, developing through a mixture of private parties and several more commercial venue residencies, it wasn’t until the Summer of 2005 when he launched Funkin Good – a brand to promote ‘chunky, funky & soulful house music’. Andy enjoyed much success in the running, promoting and DJ’ing at various events throughout the Midlands. During 2010 he ran several Funkin Good All-Night Party’s at Karma Bar in Great Yarmouth, with further more successful nights in 2011.

In May 2008, Andy collaborated with fellow Midlands DJ’s Alex Ross, Shaun Mynett and James Brewerton to launch FLUSH. They quickly established a monthly night at the Forge Bar in Cannock playing funky, electro, tech and
progressive house music. The night has gone from strength to strength, and has subsequently held events at the Custard Factory in Birmingham, Bar 360 in Stoke On Trent, the Loft Bar and Ciro’s in Ashby De La Zouch, and the Ikon Bar in Newcastle Under Lyme.

In addition, Andy has returned to more commercial venues with a Summer 2009 residency completed at the Varsity Bar in Coventry, quickly followed by a new Friday night residency at Rio’s in Leamington Spa. The success of Friday nights has continued throughout 2010, and in addition Andy has taken bookings throughout the UK, plus various other events & parties that he is invited to play at!

Currently, Andy has a DJ residency at The Ropewalk in St Paul’s Square, Birmingham on both Friday & Saturday nights. Friday is a commercial night featuring music from different genres & decades, with Saturday night promoted as a House Music event under the name of STYLE. The success of this Saturday night event has led to further DJ appearances & the running of STYLE night’s at other Midlands venues.

A recent new venture for Andy has been to co-produce a monthly podcast show with Shaun Mynett for Electronic Sessions. As of March 2011, Andy produces & hosts a monthly 1 hour podcast show called House Bound, and is broadcast exclusively on Sense.fm. The success of these 2 projects have led to his new weekly show called At Night that he presents for Cannock based station, Chase.fm.

During the Summer of 2012, Andy was invited to join the DJ roster for the legendary club night Miss Moneypennys, and has been involved with the renaissance of the brand over the past few months.

Away from the club scene, Andy also provides DJ & PA services to several major High Street retailers, such as Selfridges, House of Fraser, D
