Course Details

Our work as DJs can be lonely. Join my DJ club for the first 7-day Online DJ Challenge to create and share your DJ mix with the world! The challenge runs from Monday 28th March to Monday 4th April 2022. When does it start? The secret Facebook group will open Wednesday 23rd March so you’ll have time to get ready for the challenge. In the preceding days, you will be able to ask me any questions relating to getting ready for the challenge. What do I need? 1. A Facebook account, so you can join our secret group. We keep it secret so it’s a safe space. 2. DJ kit. Turntables, CD decks, digital (controller + laptop), whatever your flavour. 3. Some way of recording yourself - if you have Serato or similar, you can usually record inside the software. This is a ‘must’ as at the end of the challenge, you will be uploading your mix to Mixcloud. 4. An online Mixcloud Account to host your mix - it’s free to sign up, the number of minutes are unlimited, and as you have to provide tracklistings, it’s a great way to make sure artists get royalties for their work. Good, yeah? 4. Tunes. Obvs! Whichever medium you’re using, you’ll need you best, most flavoursome tunes. 5. A DJ name - and picture and logo if you have one. Canva.com is a brilliant, free, graphics creation tool. How does it work? Over 7-days, you create a DJ mix to share with the world. Throughout the week, I’ll be offering up tips to help you, motivate, and keep you on track, and together as a group, we’ll smash this goal! By the end of the 7-days, you'll have a mix on Mixcloud. How much time will I need? As much as you can give - the more you put in, the more you get back, but aim to dedicate at least some time each day. Who is this aimed at? DJs, and future DJs who would like to create and share a DJ mix of at least 30 mins. If you’re a beginner who knows how to mix a couple of tunes and use your kit, but just need a nudge to get a mix done, then it’s perfect for you. If you’re already up and running as a DJ, this is a neat challenge to get your butt into gear and get a new mix done. It's creative music digital co-working! (If you have never DJ’d before but want to get started, you could give it a go, and you’ll absorb some of the info - but it is probably better to have a few lessons and join us on another challenge once you know the basics of mixing and getting your kit to work).
