Professional Workshops - Dj Classes on CDJs / Turntables / Controller - Ableton, Rekordbox, Traktor
From 40.19 £ /h
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.

About Me
I'm a DJ, producer, composer, and live performer. I've been making music since I was very young and naturally gravitated toward electronic music early on—it's now my full-time profession.
I'm one half of the Discult Soundsystem duo, run the Let’s Discult label, and promote events through it. I also compose music for a variety of media, including commercials, video games, soundtracks, and more.
As the founder of DJ School Berlin, I offer training programs, workshops, mentorship, and artistic coaching to support artists in developing their skills and creative direction. Alongside teaching, I also have experience in artist management, having worked at an agency focused on scouting and supporting emerging talent.
I have my own sound, but I’m always happy to adapt to your musical style and goals.
Feel free to get in touch if you're interested—I'll be glad to share more details.

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, more dynamic in terms of learning and interesting because you get to observe another student correcting TPs or or discussing techniques, which leads to valuable insights.
. In 1-1 if you're more comfortable solo, and for more effective learning focused on you and your pace.
I'll give you the keys to :
- Get to grips with Ableton Live and set up an efficient workflow
- Understand sound structure and audio manipulation
- Compose your own tracks and develop your artistic identity
- Explore different types of synthesis and sound design
- Master the use of effects and audio processing
- Structure, arrange, and bring your ideas to life
- Learn mixing techniques and how to properly export your projects
- If you're already experienced, dive into advanced production techniques to refine your craft
I'll also accompany you and advise you on the purchase of your equipment/plugins/tools.
Classes take place either in my studio in Kreuzberg, equipped with 2 CDJs, 2 vinyl decks, workstation, synths, drum machines and controllers or online with screen sharing with dynamic practice, TPs and follow up.
They are a mix of theory and practice, and we also cover the values and precepts of this art form, giving you lots of pro tips and tricks, as well as creative goodies (VSTs, effects, personal racks)
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.
