Program Overview

A quick outline of the workshop structure and what participants can expect.

The DJ Workshops Spring 2026 focus entirely on Drum and Bass and are designed for anyone who wants to learn how to mix the genre or improve their current DJ skills.

Participants will be divided into three groups based on experience level, from beginners to more experienced DJs. The sign up happens through a short form where participants share their experience, equipment familiarity, and goals. This information is used to place everyone in the group that fits them best.

During the workshops, participants will work on key Drum and Bass DJ skills such as phrasing, quick transitions, track selection, and understanding the structure and energy of DnB tracks. Each session combines explanation with practical time behind the decks.

The workshops take place in small groups to ensure enough practice time and personal feedback, helping participants build confidence and improve their Drum and Bass mixing.
