Do you have a fondness for electronic music and have always wondered what exactly goes on in the DJ booth? All those buttons, knobs and flashing lights – and how do they ultimately result in a perfect transition? Then this workshop with DJ BiMän in Berlin is just the thing for you!
In this compact, hands-on workshop, you'll get a comprehensive introduction to the world of DJing – no prior knowledge required. After a brief meet and greet, you'll head straight to the DJ booth, where a professional setup awaits you: You'll be working with Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus players and a DJM 900 mixer – in other words, the very same equipment that is used in clubs all over the world. High-quality headphones will also be provided. You don't need to bring anything – not even your own music – I've prepared everything.
In the workshop, you'll learn the theoretical basics: How are electronic tracks structured? What do BPM and key mean – and why are they important for good transitions? Step by step, I'll show you how to select, analyze, and combine songs. The goal is for you to be able to beatmatch independently and create your own transitions – and, in the process, develop a feel for flow, rhythm and timing.
A special add-on: While you're at the decks, photos will be taken of you – so at the end, you'll not only have new skills, but also your first professional DJ photos!
Whether you're just curious, have always wanted to try your hand at the decks, or dream of DJing yourself – here, in a relaxed atmosphere, you'll be taught all the basics to get started right away.
The workshop takes place in a real club setting in Berlin – in other words, right where electronic music belongs. Look forward to hands-on learning, personalized tips, great music, and lots of fun.
Just vibes & curiosity – let's go!
