Welcome nights, open decks, and a room full of people who take music seriously — DJing is how you get in the door, from your first transition to a community you keep coming back to.
Where We Are
We teach at our studio in Apex Rehearsal, Philadelphia, PA.
Our studio is equipped with professional Pioneer DJ® club-standard equipment and studio-grade monitors.
Where should I start?
You don't need to want to be a DJ yet — get invited to socials, welcome nights, and low-key events where music people actually show up.
A fun two-hour experience behind the decks — make your first transition, no commitment.
Finished the course or already mixing? Founding membership is room time, events, and the community after class.
Our Mission
If you love music, you deserve more than playlists and group chats — a real place to go with it, with people who get why it matters. Booth builds that: shared sessions, events, and a scene that keeps growing.
DJing is how we do it in person — hands on the faders, surrounded by people who push you to get better. Not through tutorials, or alone at home. Every city gets a studio, an instructor, and the seedlings of a community.
More Than Lessons
We're not a course you finish and forget. The goal is practice, socials, shows, promotion, and the general fun of being part of something built for people who love music — and don't take themselves too seriously.
Community
Studios staffed by people who love this stuff, instructors trained to our standards, and local groups small enough to know your name.
Social
Welcome nights, listening sessions, pair-ups, and the kind of hangouts where someone always has a track you need to hear.
Practice
Book time on club-standard setups, get feedback from people who've been there, and build the muscle memory you can't get from a screen.
Shows
Open decks, local showcases, and events around the city — because DJing is something you do with other people.
Promotion
Support as you build confidence, record mixes, and find your next step. We'll help you build your brand, and we're slowly building a network of industry connections.
Expression
We care about the joy of putting your personality into a set — the energy you create, the moods you move through, the story only you can tell.
Our Story
From DJ@Penn to in-person teaching in Philadelphia to Booth — every step driven by the same idea: DJs need a place.
Origins
The idea behind Booth started as an Ivy League DJ community that grew to more than 500 members. The pattern was obvious: beginners learned faster when they had real decks, someone to guide them, and other music people in the room.
2023
That early curriculum became a Philadelphia DJ school with club-standard gear, structured lessons, and instructors helping students go from their first transition to recorded sets.
Today
Now we're building Booth: The community layer around that training. Real rooms, real gear, and real instruction, expanding city by city. Every city gets a studio, an instructor, and the seedlings of a scene.
What exists now
What we're building
Cities & Community
We expand by seeding new groups — fitting out local studios, training instructors and facilitators, and giving each city the tools to build its own scene. Philadelphia is part of that story.
Shared curriculum. Local rooms. Real instruction — whether you're learning your first transition or building toward your first recorded set.
“I didn't come looking for a DJ school — I came looking for people who cared about music the way I do. [Booth] gave me both.”

Why In-Person?
DJing is physical. It's reading a room, hearing your mix through real monitors, catching a mistake before the crowd does, and learning from someone standing right next to you. That's why every Booth session happens in a studio — with professional equipment, trained instructors, and other people in the room who want you to succeed.
