I started making music as an adult. I always had that drive as a kid, but my family could not afford the lessons. Then life kicked in and there was always a good reason not to get into it. Until one day this old dream popped back up, and I stepped into a music store and got my first DJ controller. This completely changed my life, and a few years later I moved to Berlin to start a full course as a music production student. Fast forward a decade or so and I completely changed carreers and deep delved into sound engineering. Making music is a place of joy and fulfillment. The only regret I have is to have kept myself from doing it for such a long time. DO NOT WAIT, there is a great deal of happiness on the other side. I have a tried and true method that I tested on dozens of students, both in workshops and one on one sessions. It's designed to let you access the "having fun" parts in the least amount of time. This approach actually makes the learning curve much smoother, and lets you experiment on your own very quickly. Theory becomes more and more relevant as you go and perfect your skills, but I strongly believe that unlocking the joy potential early while building good habits is the key to any learning experience. Wether you are interested to get into DJing, Music Production or Mix Engineering, wether you are a complete beginner or have started to develop those skills on your own, I can help you streamline the process, avoid the pitfalls, debunk the myths, and accompany as you grow as a musician, regardless of the genres you're into.

In this course, beginners aged 13 and over can learn the basics of digital DJing. All the fundamentals, such as beatmatching, equalizers, and effects, are taught. Different mixing techniques are used depending on the musical genres.

Learn the art of DJing or improve your existing skills. In this course, you’ll discover how to use professional DJ equipment and software to create smooth transitions, mix different genres, and develop your own unique style. We’ll also explore music structure, rhythm, beatmatching, and how to read and energize a crowd. For students interested in production, I’ll guide you through Ableton Live to create edits, remixes, and mashups tailored for your sets. This is a hands-on class designed to give you practical skills you can directly apply, whether you want to perform at parties, clubs, or just for fun.

You’ll learn practical, repeatable techniques to become confident on the decks and make mixing look effortless. • Beatmatching and phrasing • Smooth, powerful transitions • EQ techniques and creative use of FX • Set building, track selection and energy control • How to prepare and structure a DJ set • Real-time feedback and practical exercises to help you improve fast Lessons are hands-on and fully tailored to your goals, experience and musical taste. I’m an expert in house music with deep roots in the genre, but all styles are welcome — techno, hip hop, pop, bass, indie or anything in between. We can work with: • CDJs and USBs • Digital controllers and Rekordbox setups • Vinyl and turntables Whether you’re DJing for fun, building your skills or preparing to perform, we’ll focus on exactly what you need to progress. Hi, I’m Lars Moston, a Berlin scene veteran now based in San Francisco. I teach DJs at every stage, from complete beginners to experienced DJs looking to take their skills and sets further. I’ve played iconic Berlin underground clubs such as Sisyphos, Kater Blau and Watergate, as well as major festivals including Tomorrowland and Fusion, and world-renowned venues like Pacha Ibiza and Printworks London. I’ve released music on labels such as Golden Recordings, Mobilee and Nervous, remixed artists like Purple Disco Machine and Claptone, and collaborated, including b2b sets, with Boris Dlugosch. My students often mention that I’m patient, approachable and good at breaking things down into clear, manageable steps. I adapt the lessons to you rather than forcing everyone through the same program. So whether you’re making your first ever mix or you’ve been DJing for years, we start where you are and focus on what will help you progress.

Whether you want to learn how to DJ, produce your (first) tracks, learn to play the piano, understand composition, or build a stronger (online) creative identity, I’m happy to guide you! We can work on the technical side of music, like DJing/production, arrangement, mixing, and music theory, but also on the bigger picture: creating concepts, developing your style, and building your personal brand as an artist. For me, music is all about curiosity, creativity, and having fun while learning. Everyone has their own ideas and inspiration, and I enjoy helping you shape those into something unique. Whether you’re just starting out or already making music, we’ll look together at what you want to achieve and create a learning path that fits you.

Do you want to learn how to mix, make scratches, and stand behind the decks with confidence? I teach a hands-on DJ course for beginners and advanced students. You will learn: Basic mixing & beatmatching Scratching & effects Music selection & set build Performing for an audience Lessons in small groups (max 6 people) or private, online or in the studio. After the course, you can immediately play your own set at parties, weddings, or clubs. Start ASAP – limited number of spots!
