Electronic Music DJ Course
Electronic Music DJ Course
Electronic Music DJ Course | Los Angeles
Our split-level Electronic Music DJ course includes your very own slot at our club night (over 21s only), in partnership with Insomniac which see us in locations such as Academy LA in Hollywood, if you make the grade and choose to be thrown in the deep end. So far not one person has not made the grade! See footage from the video below. What’s more, all our profits from our club night go to the LA Works charity.
Our Electronic Music DJ course is suitable for complete beginners and bedroom DJs, who want to learn the right way from our superior roster of Electronic Music DJ instructors in groups of no more than four. Our generously equipped DJ lab has every piece of industry standard equipment you’d see in respectable venues, including Pioneer Nexus decks with Rekordbox, Native Instruments Traktor with S8 controllers, Serato, and there’s even Technics 1200 vinyl decks for you to get to grips with. If you wish to learn to play popular genres of electronic music, this Electronic Music DJ course is for you. Learning how to DJ should be FUN – not frustrating!
This course is fully comprehensive; the differences between this course and our Underground DJ course are the music you will have in common with your fellow learners, and your like-minded instructor will have experience in this popular electronic music scene. Before we were fortunate enough to have the demand to run genre-specific DJ courses, our generic courses often resulted in instructors who could never be suitable for all of the learners’ music tastes; you had to be lucky to get the right instructor. Now we are thrilled to be able to offer a fully comprehensive, Electronic Music DJ course, where everyone is on the same page.
Please note that our club night is not always scheduled straight after your course, so if you’re coming to LA from out of town, please bear this in mind. If you can’t make our club night but wish to be in the lineup on a future date, we can make that happen.
