When it comes to my teaching style, it's all about getting hands-on with lessons that are seriously dynamic. We dive into a world of visual examples and cool exercises, making learning electronic music production an absolute blast, all while keeping an eye on those crucial theoretical foundations.

I love whipping up a unique learning plan for each student, whether you're just starting out or already rocking some serious skills.

Mode:
- Online (via Zoom, where I can record the lesson so you can watch it on your own time)
- In-person (I'll grab a studio room to keep things comfy)

My story:
- Currently jamming with DNB ACADEMY, the go-to online school for mastering Drum & Bass music.
- Rolling with the big guns of Drum & Bass / Jungle labels in the UK like Dispatch Recordings, Sofa Sound, Flexout Audio & Rebel Music.
- Gigging in over 18 countries across Europe and South America, hitting up killer festivals like Outlook & Let it roll.
- I've been in the music production game for over 8 years back in Colombia, teaching at hotspots like DNA MUSIC, DJ ACADEMY & EL CLUB DE AUDIO. Plus, I've had loads of one-on-one sessions with awesome people from all around the world. Let's create some beats together!

This is not your average DJ or music production lesson. Whether you're just starting or looking to unlock new layers of creativity, this session blends DJing, hands-on sound design, and playful audio experimentation.

Each class is tailored to your interests and can explore:

DJ mixing using vinyl or digital tools (Traktor, turntables)

Explore modular synthesis using a compact Nifty Case setup — perfect for beginners and creative thinkers. You’ll learn how to patch simple signal paths, create evolving textures, and use randomness as a tool for discovery.”
“No prior modular experience needed — sessions focus on sound exploration, not technical overwhelm

Creative use of software like Ableton Live, Reason, and Renoise

Using found sounds, instruments, and randomness to spark ideas

All tools are provided and include:

DJ decks (Technics SL1200s + Traktor Z2)

Nifty Case modular system with sequencer, filters, and delay

Keyboard (Numa Compact 2X), field recorder, vinyl, and unique sound objects

Acoustic instruments like flute and recorder, for hybrid exploration

This is a highly personalized, creative-first class — ideal for those who learn by doing, experimenting, and listening deeply.
