Before you ask

Questions we hear every week.

Am I too old to start?

No. Many of our students start in their 30s, 40s and 50s. DJing is about ears and timing, and both get better with life experience.

I have zero musical background.

Most of our students don’t either. We start from zero on club-standard gear and guarantee you’ll be DJing after 10 lessons.

Do I need my own equipment?

No. You learn on our Pioneer CDJ-3000s and DJM-900NXS2 at the studio. We’ll tell you what’s worth buying when you’re ready.

What happens after the course?

You join our WhatsApp community of students and graduates: paid gig opportunities, Open Decks, and people to play with.
