The scene in Essex

Essex has a long dance music history, from the rave era and the garage boom to the house and drum & bass nights running today. With bars, clubs and private parties across the county, there's real demand for DJs who can read a room.

Lessons cover the skills to take part: mixing, building a set and, when you're ready, playing to a crowd.

What you can learn

From your very first mix to producing your own tracks.

Complete beginner

Set up the equipment, understand the mixer, beatmatch by ear and put together your first smooth mixes.

Improver

Phrase-perfect mixing, EQ and effects, building a set that flows and reading a crowd.

Advanced

Performance skills, harmonic mixing, scratching and transitions, preparing for real gigs and recorded mixes.

Music production

Make your own tracks: beats, basslines, arranging and finishing a tune in software like Ableton or Cubase.

MCing

Flow, breath control, writing bars and performing with a DJ.
