The course provides a comprehensive understanding of DJ'ing, covering its origins, evolution, and current practices.

Participants will learn about various aspects of DJ'ing, starting from turntables, CD players, mixers, beat-matching techniques, equalizers, effects, and signal flows in analogue DJ setups. Additionally, all participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to analyze DJ sets.
 

After mastering the foundational skills of mixing with turntables and vinyls, you will progress to experimenting with CD mixing. This will involve theoretical instruction as well as hands-on practice.
 

Our curriculum includes renowned DJ software programs such as Rekordbox, Traktor, or Serato, which are considered industry standards for DJ'ing.

This course consists of five days. First four days are dedicated to four hours of theoretical and practical lessons.

On the final day, there will be a four-hour Party Play session.

​

Party Play

The last day of our course will be organized as a Course Completion Graduation Party, where all participants will have the opportunity to perform back-to-back with the instructors. This event is open to all friends and guests, and we encourage everyone to join us in celebrating the achievements of yours.

​

The main objective of our course is for each participant to have at least 1 recorded DJ set that is ready for publication by the end of the course.

​

This exclusive 5x4 = 20 hours of course costs 650 euros at our school in Amsterdam.
