The curriculum
Four sessions.
Eight hours.
Ear-led mixing, cleaner transitions, faster recovery, smarter prep, and a capstone set you play on professional Pioneer DJ® equipment.
Mix by ear
Beatmatch with less visual help, find tempo manually, and recover quickly when pitch, cues, or EQ slip.
Transitions & recovery
Phrase-aware blends, clean EQ, hot cues, and looping to extend mixes, fix exits, and stay in control.
Prep, FX & set flow
Rekordbox sequencing, energy planning, and tasteful echo, filter, and reverb — combined without losing the mix.
Capstone performance
Pressure drills, booth readiness on CDJ-style gear, and an advanced set you can actually play under pressure.
