The scene in Northern Ireland
Belfast has a long, loyal club culture and a new generation of DJs and producers, with Derry and the county towns running their own nights.
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.
