Overview

This course combines both Complete DJ Part 1 & 2 and will suit anyone looking to go from zero to DJ hero all within 6 months. You will be following in the footsteps of our alumni by learning cover a wide range of DJ techniques, from the essential fundamentals including beat matching, EQ-ing, and harmonic mixing through to more creative techniques including acapella mixing, effects, scratching, building your brand and much more. You will learn how to record, edit and produce professional-sounding mixes and develop skills that will enhance your DJ sets and give you the edge over the competition, book gigs with confidence and begin to work the DJ circuit. Our studios are located in Shoreditch - a global hub of London music venues and bars - and include state-of-the-art technology and a Pioneer DJ sponsored studio. Class sizes are small so you receive plenty of 1-2-1 support, each student has their own set up in class, and all music styles are welcome.

We offer our students unparalleled access to DJing events and opportunities. With monthly gigs at Ministry of Sound, annual competitions with Elrow, and spots at fabric and other top London clubs, we provide the perfect platform to propel your career, gain experience, and expand your network. Our students regularly perform at iconic venues and win prestigious competitions, including FLORENTIA, who won the Elrow competition and now DJs worldwide. Join Point Blank and elevate your DJ career!
