Acclaimed DJs, Anthony Vitale and Michael Gentile, know the work that goes into it and are on a mission to keep the art of DJing alive! Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Vitale and Gentile were passionate about DJing and found their career path at a young age. At just 12 years old, Vitale was quickly introduced into the party scene, spinning at night clubs across New York. He continued to grow and with more and more popularity he started spinning across the globe at some of the hottest spots. Meanwhile, his soon-to-be counterpart, Gentile was 14, starting his career in the nightlife scene that would bring him to start a private events company. After years of DJing, Vitale and Gentile decided to combine their skills and opened THE FUNKTION HOUSE. The two took a warehouse space in Brooklyn and created a studio where DJs stories would be told while providing inspiration and advice.
The Funktion House is a broadcasting studio that was created to promote the art and culture of DJing. The DJing culture has transformed over the last 10 years because of technology advancements and the art form has taken a back seat to the social media craze. The Funktion House is an outlet where DJs can express themselves musically and not be judged. In addition to expression, it gives the artist a chance to tell back their story and inspirations within the culture. Many DJs that made a huge impact within the DJ world have gone unnoticed because social media didn’t exist when they were making their mark.
As DJs, you always enjoy playing parties and events. That’s the love of being a DJ. But being in the business for over 25 years it’s nice to give back and help the young generation of DJs. We enjoy mentoring and promoting the up and comers. That is what the Funktion House is all about. It’s nice to experience a DJ putting in the work and showcasing their live set. Some DJs really come prepared for their sets at the Funktion House, which makes us feel like we are truly inspiring them.
We are all about helping and promoting an artist. Clearly with DJs, that’s our world so it’s a little easier for us to build the platform around them. As we mature and continue to form partnerships, we will start to feature other types of artists.
