Course Methodology
Master advanced DJ techniques, 3-deck mixing, and artist development
Master Mixing by Ear
Stop looking at screens.
We retrain your ears to beatmatch instinctively, allowing you to mix with precision on any club setup without ever relying on visual phase meters or sync.
Confident 3-Deck Mixing
Unlock full creative control.
Learn to loop, layer, and mix across three Pioneer CDJ-3000s simultaneously, transforming your sets from standard mixing into live performance art.
Define Your Artist Sound
Don't just play tracks; build a brand.
Develop a signature style and technical identity, then package it into an EPK that promoters actually respond to.
Train on Pro Club-Standard Gear
Prepare for the main stage.
Train on a full professional rider using Pioneer CDJ-3000s and DJM-900NXS2 or DJM-A9 mixers at our pro studios in Hackney Wick, ensuring you're ready for any booth in the world.
Advanced DJ Course Overview
Learn the Pro DJ skills and technical knowledge you need to become a proficient and confident DJ
Booth Troubleshooting
Master the club environment. Learn to identify and fix signal chain issues, cabling faults, and hardware glitches in a dark booth, ensuring your set keeps moving even when the tech fails.
Total Ear Mastery
Ditch the visual aids. We retrain your ears to beatmatch entirely by sound, allowing you to mix with instinct and precision on any setup, in any club, without ever looking at a phase meter.
3-Deck Mixing & Layering
Create your own live remixes. Learn to layer acapellas, loops, and textures across three Pioneer CDJ-3000s simultaneously to build a complex, unique soundscape that 2-deck DJs can't match.
Creative FX Manipulation
Go beyond the basics. Learn to stack effects, build tension with "Release FX", and use the DJM-A9's powerful engine to paint with sound, turning simple transitions into signature moments.
Advanced Hot Cue Work
Transform your library into an instrument. Master tone play, live finger-drumming, and on-the-fly track restructuring to create live edits that no other DJ can replicate.
Crowd Control & Drops
Understand the psychology of the dancefloor. Learn exactly when to hold back, when to release tension, and how to execute high-energy drops that maximise crowd reaction.
Multi-Genre Fusion
Break the rules. Learn advanced transition techniques to seamlessly blend different genres and BPMs, keeping the energy high while surprising your audience with an "Open Format" style.
Live Remixing & Tricks
Add flair to your performance. Master backspins, vinyl brakes, and scratch techniques to punctuate transitions and add a "turntablist" edge to your digital sets.
Flow State & Recovery
Mistakes happen; pros know how to hide them. Learn "save" techniques to recover from drifting beats or bad transitions instantly, ensuring your audience never hears the slip-up.
Artist Brand & Bookings
Turn your passion into a career. We guide you through building a professional Press Kit (EPK), navigating the London club circuit, and pitching yourself effectively to promoters.

The Fresh Beats Show
on Bloop Radio
On Bloop, we host an exclusive show for our Advance DJ Course Graduates, where you will have the chance to perform.
Watch them all perform their DJ sets and talk with Pablo and Jay about the value they gained from the course.
Jay
Jay shares the core philosophy of the Pro course: moving beyond basic mixing to master creative set structure, advanced FX, and the "disaster management" skills needed to keep your cool in a professional booth.
Babaganoush, Just Han & Dylusion
The group talks about the leap from beginner to pro. They discuss the obsession of mastering 3-deck mixing, the thrill of creating "live remixes" on the fly, and the massive confidence boost of finally ditching the visual phase meters.
Sunrise Fiancee, LA.W & Enrai
Alumni share their rapid journey from the classroom to playing iconic clubs like E1 London. They explain how Jay’s mentorship helped them overcome the fear of the third deck and turn complex technical challenges into a natural performance flow.
