Great news!! 2 8 week courses will be starting in October.

This course is designed to take complete beginners from the ground level all the way to recording your first mix, and even performing live at either an event or a live stream!

The 8 week course is a total of 24 hours. You can choose if you want to do Wednesday evenings or Sunday afternoons.
Both these courses are exactly the same. We are running them concurrently due to demand.

By breaking the whole mixing process down into easy to follow stages you and your fellow students will soon not only understand what makes a good mix, but will (with our help, guidance and a little practice) soon be able to beat match and mix your favourite tunes seamlessly.

During the course you’ll learn about all the different ways of mixing on CDJs, Vinyl and Digital across various platforms. You’ll learn different types of equipment to see how they work, how to use it correctly.

There will be a maximum of 6 people on each group course.

Course 1 (Wednesday evenings) 6-9pm
October 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
Nov 6th, 13th, 20th, 

Course 2 (Sundays afternoons) 12-3pm
Oct 6th, 13th ,20th, 27th
Nov 3rd, 10th, 24th
Dec 1st

Please note: These are fixed times and dates and a fixed curriculum as this is a group course. So if you are unable to attend a week, it is unlikely that we will be able to 

Cost: £495 per person.
