So, we’re here to help you stand out from the crowd with a complete and intuitive training course. You no longer need to spend frustrating hours, days, or weeks struggling to understand techniques like beatmixing and scratching.
These are exciting, intensive two-day crash courses that are suitable for you whether you’re a complete beginner, or looking to enhance your existing skills. Whether you prefer to use vinyl, CDs or MP3s, we’ll teach you what you need to know.
You’ll learn to use the very latest industry standard equipment, including the Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus decks, Technics SL1210 turntables, Allen & Heath Zone One, or Pioneer DJM600 mixers, to name a few.
Whatever music genre you’re into, whether it’s Drum ‘n’ Bass, House, Techno, R&B, or anything else, we can teach you all the basic skills you need to become a DJ. Whether you’re looking to turn professional or just to enjoy DJing as a hobby, we’ll soon have you mixing and scratching your favourite records.
You can learn in a small group or one-to-one, and will receive practical, hands-on tuition from the first day. And, if you choose to study on a one-to-one basis, you can change the course content and timetable to suit your personal requirements.
Even before you’ve invested in a DJ set up, we can help you decide on a package that would be the most suitable for your needs. Our tutors and advisors are able to offer informed and impartial advice on choosing the best combination of hardware and software to suit your budget and requirements.
From absolute beginners to advanced DJs, we have a range of courses that aim to develop your performance whatever your level (see below for all our DJing courses). Our courses can be taken in either of two formats:
- Two day crash course
- One evening per week over four weeks

These exclusive one-on-one intensive online ‘Skype’ tutorials are the perfect way to tackle these hurdles and take your productions to the NEXT LEVEL. Designed to be flexible to suit your specific timetable and personal requirements and ranging from Basic to Intermediate to Advanced sessions we can teach you, with close interaction and by targeting your specific needs, the exact skills and confidence you require to approach labels and DJs.
Even though our experience specifically lies in Drum & Bass and its sub genres the core fundamentals of dance music production and engineering can be applied to all genres and tempos of electronic music from Ambient, Electronica, Deep House to Dubstep and beyond.
The courses are particularly suited to people who have, at least, some basic knowledge and experience of using industry standard DAWs such as Cubase, Studio one and Ableton but even if we aren’t overly familiar with your DAW of choice the production and engineering principles should work in any DAW and we will strive to accommodate and adapt to any level of user on any format. We can also offer informed and impartial advice, if necessary, on what we think is the best software for you and what free alternatives are out there to help in your productions.
We believe we have a range of courses and the passion to help you progress and develop your productions to a high standard. See below for the three levels of one-on-one Skype production courses. Our courses are specifically tailored to your exact needs and requirements and flexible enough to fit around a timetable that suits you.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”5px”]
