From the Blog
Lisbon's course runs in small groups at our studio, taught by working producers. The city's fast-growing electronic scene makes it a good place to learn this. DJing is learned hands-on at the decks, so our group DJ classes are in person only - online, we teach it one-to-one. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
For this course, please contact us for schedule information before booking
