DJ WEEK

One week, 25 hours

Nowadays, it’s no longer just about mixing two records together. Rather, it’s about controlling the technology. That’s why it’s important to understand which buttons and sliders make sense and which are better ignored. With us you learn on club standard equipment.

Whether digital or analog, here you will learn everything about technology and equipment which DJs work with. We will teach you technical basics on CDJs, controllers and turntables, and special features on mixers. As well as fundamental terms like effects, sound characteristics, frequency, amplitude, phase or interference to elevate your DJing. We will also go into crowd reading and how to create mixtapes/podcasts. 

For decades, Pioneer has set the global standard for clubs. Discover how to prepare and manage your tracks using Rekordbox. Explore the integration of CDJs with vinyl and controllers.

Learn about the structure and functionality of club-oriented electronic music, utilize key signatures effectively, and master timing and quantization patterns.

Over the course of 5 consecutive days (totaling 25 hours), you’ll have ample opportunity to play, experiment with effects, gain confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of technique.
