About this Event
This beginner-friendly workshop is Your first real step behind the decks.
In 90 minutes, DNA. Member CZECH STRINGS — a multi-genre DJ with 10+ years of experience — walks You through everything You need to know to make Your first mix. No prior knowledge of DJing, music theory, or equipment is required. Zero.
The session starts with the essentials: what a DJ actually does, what their role is, and how it all comes together. From there, CZECH STRINGS explains the gear using the decks available at the spot as a live example, applicable to any DJ setup You might encounter in the future.
* Beatmatching — how to align two tracks in tempo
* Cueing — how to prepare the next track for a seamless entry
* Track structure and phrasing — understanding how tracks are built so You know when to mix
The teaching happens live from behind the DJ decks. You can follow from Your seat or gather around and watch up close. CZECH STRINGS demonstrates everything on Electronic Music, but can switch to any other genre on request. The techniques taught apply to all rhythmic music.
A part of the session is dedicated to hands-on practice. You will get the chance to step up to the decks and try it Yourself.
WHAT YOU NEED:Nothing is required. If You'd like to bring Your own music on a USB stick, You're welcome to, but it will only work if the stick is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) / FAT32 and the tracks have been analysed in Rekordbox beforehand. If that means nothing to You right now, don't worry. There's plenty of music ready to go.
The atmosphere is supportive, focused, and hands-on. This workshop is for anyone curious about DJing who wants to understand the craft, touch real equipment, and leave with a solid first foundation.
EQUIPMENT:
We’ll be working with a Pioneer DJ XDJ-RR, which can be used with USB sticks and Rekordbox.
