Tamara Havoc
'I decided to enrol in this course and my life changed so much after that. It's so amazing to have this guidance'
With Pablo's help and knowledge, I've managed now to become confident in what I do and, most importantly, I managed to get gigs, even in Morocco.I rarely have seen a school that offers gigs, and I was invited to play at Netil Radio and I had even an interview, which is why this DJ Course is so special.
Jacek Rebkowski
'All the stuff that's added like the gig and the radio show, went beyond my expectations from this course'
... and the fact that we were in studios where we could listen to the sound through these amazing speakers. That's a massive plus since I heard other people doing DJ courses in bigger schools, fitting 10 students practising only with headphones, not listening to music on speakers.So this was an absolute winner for me.
Helen Casey
'It's given me the confidence to get creative with the music that I love to play'
Now I know my way around different decks and some of the newer shinier equipment.I feel more at home now in the studio than just a guest.I can confidently play b2b with my DJ friends, and I even taught them some things that they didn't know.
Aimee Morris
'I really recommend you
do the course'
I started the course 3 months ago and I already recorded my first 1 hr long mix and I will play live next month with a few of the other DJ graduates.It's a really rewarding experience if you want to get your foot in the door of being a DJ.
Ana Coba
'Pablo was so influential in helping me sharpen my skills in my favourite music genres'
Pablo is a very talented, dedicated and supportive tutor with a vast knowledge and passion for music and DJing. I was always amazed by his ability to maintain a professional level while keeping it fun and creative. I really enjoyed my learning process with him. The structure of all lessons was great.
Niall O'Sullivan
'What I discovered as I did the classes was how much fun I had doing them'
I had the most fun at the studio with Pablo just learning so much, listening to music, dancing, understanding how to use all the tools and also the understanding of music that Pablo brings to the table. It wasn't just 'here's what each button does', it's 'here's how a record should be played and mixed with another', 'here's how you build a perfect mix' and so much more.
WHAT OUR ALUMNI COMMUNITY SAYS
WE PLAY BEATS
Fresh Beats is LSEM's sister brand that specialises in helping our students and alumni community to gain experience while launching themselves as professional artists into the real world of the music industry.
We organise club nights, a radio show on Netil Radio, live streams, and run a record label, all of which work together in perfect sync to provide you with the assistance you need to get started in the world of electronic music.
Let's begin with our events for LSEM DJ graduates performing their first gigs.
After three months of hard work, sweat, and tears as you finish the LSEM DJ course at Pirate Studios with our amazing teachers, you get the chance to get invited to play your first gig with all of us.
It all materialises by playing at a nice club, with a big sound system and most importantly a friendly crowd...
The Fresh Beats Show
Once a month, on the second Monday, you can find us on Netil Radio, where our tutors welcome you as DJ guests.
You will play your music, share your experiences from taking part in our DJ and Music Production Courses, and talk to us about your future plans as you delve as a pro into the music industry.
DJ MIX SERIES
Check out these killer 1-hour mixes our students dropped as their final assignment during our DJ course's epic last session in the studios.
Some mixes are pure fire, and yeah, there are a few bumps here and there.
But hey, cut them some slack—it's live DJing on week 12 post-completion of the course, all in one take. No room for fixes. Talk about nerve-racking adrenaline!
This just shows that with the right mix of passion and persistence, you can level up your skills big time. Imagine yourself tearing up the decks at clubs and kick-starting your DJ journey.
So, what about you? Think you can go from zero to hero in just three months?
We swear by it—put your heart and soul into it, and you will achieve it.
