Learn to DJ in Berlin: Hands-On Lessons for All Levels

From 51.8 £ /h

Whether you're completely new to DJing or looking to sharpen your skills, these hands-on lessons are designed to meet you where you are. We'll cover everything from setting up your gear and beatmatching to mixing, transitions, and building a set that reflects your style.

Learn to DJ with an artist deeply rooted in Berlin’s raw, hypnotic techno scene. These lessons are for anyone curious about the craft — whether you're just starting or looking to refine your flow behind the decks.

We'll cover the full spectrum: from beatmatching and EQing to transitions, set-building, and developing a sound that feels like yours. Expect a hands-on, personal approach using industry-standard gear (CDJs or controller), tailored to your pace and energy.

With years of experience playing across Europe, I’ll guide you not just technically, but artistically — helping you connect with the music, trust your ear, and play with intention.

Let’s start where you are — and go from there.

Extra information

No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity and love for music. All gear will be provided for the lesson, but if you have your own USBs or want to learn on your personal setup (controller, rekordbox, etc.), we can adapt.

Lessons can be held in English or French, and I’m happy to support you in developing not just the technical side, but also your confidence, creative direction, and set curation.

We’ll focus on creating a space where you can experiment, ask questions, and learn at your own rhythm — whether your goal is to play your first gig, record a mix, or just understand what happens behind the decks.

Feel free to message me with any questions before booking.

This class is for all music enthusiasts, whether you’re just getting started and need a solid foundation or already experienced and looking to level up.
I’m a DJ and music production instructor with 15 years of experience, founder and instructor at DJ School Berlin. I also run my own label and organize events.
My classes take place in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and are fully focused on your needs and goals. I teach both fundamental concepts and creative techniques, while supporting you in the development of your artistic project

I also compose music for media (trailers, films, ads, games, etc) and perform live focusing on sound exploration and experimental performance.
This means we can absolutely work on different musical genres or more unconventional, creative approaches.

Passionate about dancefloor energy, it’s behind the decks and my machines that I feel most alive — and I truly love passing that on.
I perform regularly in Berlin in clubs such as Watergate, Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, RSO, Golden Gate, etc., as well as abroad, most recently in Belgrade, London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc.

Having worked in an artist management agency (Talent Scoot), I bring an added layer to the sessions — connecting technical skills with artistic vision, and helping you shape and push your artistic project forward

Courses are available in English or French

Sessions usually last 2 hours and can take place face-to-face or online, solo or in a group.

. Group sessions (1-3) are friendly, less expensive, and more dynamic in terms of learning. Observing another student practicing, discussing techniques, or receiving feedback often leads to valuable insights.
. One-on-one lessons are ideal if you prefer a personalised and efficient approach, fully adapted to your pace and goals.

I'll give you the keys to:
- Master the fundamentals of DJing on CDJs or vinyl
- Develop your own sound and mixing style
- Configure and fine-tune your DJ software (Rekordbox, Traktor)
- Perfect beatmatching, phrasing, and harmonic mixing
- Create smooth transitions and dynamic cuts for engaging sets
- Understand track selection and crowd reading to build energy
- Discover new music (digging) and organize your library efficiently
- Prepare your sets and tracklists for gigs or recordings
- Learn to record, edit, and share your mixes and podcasts
- Understand sound systems and performance setups for live events

I'll also accompany you and advise you on the purchase of your equipment.

Classes take place either in my studio in Kreuzberg, equipped with 2 CDJs, 2 vinyl decks, a professional mixer, and a full sound system, or online with a new technic I developed for a immersive learning experience. Sessions are followed by review sheets and homework assignments.
They are a mix of theory and practice, covering not just technical skills but also the artistic and performance aspects of DJing, with plenty of pro tips and creative insights to help you build your identity as a DJ.

Don't hesitate to contact me for more information, I can send you a detailed document explaining all aspects of the training, the techniques covered, as well as the essential theoretical knowledge. You'll develop a complete understanding of the material, learn how to tell your musical story, create, record, finish, export and share your work.

I am looking forward to playing music with you.
