You’ll learn practical, repeatable techniques to become confident on the decks and make mixing look effortless.
• Beatmatching and phrasing
• Smooth, powerful transitions
• EQ techniques and creative use of FX
• Set building, track selection and energy control
• How to prepare and structure a DJ set
• Real-time feedback and practical exercises to help you improve fast
Lessons are hands-on and fully tailored to your goals, experience and musical taste. I’m an expert in house music with deep roots in the genre, but all styles are welcome — techno, hip hop, pop, bass, indie or anything in between.
We can work with:
• CDJs and USBs
• Digital controllers and Rekordbox setups
• Vinyl and turntables
Whether you’re DJing for fun, building your skills or preparing to perform, we’ll focus on exactly what you need to progress.
Hi, I’m Lars Moston, a Berlin scene veteran now based in San Francisco. I teach DJs at every stage, from complete beginners to experienced DJs looking to take their skills and sets further. I’ve played iconic Berlin underground clubs such as Sisyphos, Kater Blau and Watergate, as well as major festivals including Tomorrowland and Fusion, and world-renowned venues like Pacha Ibiza and Printworks London. I’ve released music on labels such as Golden Recordings, Mobilee and Nervous, remixed artists like Purple Disco Machine and Claptone, and collaborated, including b2b sets, with Boris Dlugosch.
My students often mention that I’m patient, approachable and good at breaking things down into clear, manageable steps. I adapt the lessons to you rather than forcing everyone through the same program. So whether you’re making your first ever mix or you’ve been DJing for years, we start where you are and focus on what will help you progress.

About Me
Hi, I’m Lars Moston, an international DJ and music producer with more than 25 years of experience. I come from Berlin’s electronic-music scene and now live in San Francisco.
My lessons are friendly, practical and shaped around each student’s music. Complete beginners are welcome, as are experienced producers who want sharper feedback, a better workflow or help finishing tracks. Rather than follow a rigid syllabus, we work on the skills and creative decisions that will make the biggest difference to your own productions.
I teach in English or German via Zoom. We can work directly on your projects or build a track together from scratch, with screen sharing and high-quality audio.

Complete beginners are very welcome. You do not need previous production experience or music theory. Whether you are opening Ableton for the first time, struggling to finish tracks, or already producing and want to improve your sound, I tailor each lesson to your level, musical taste, and goals.
We can work on Ableton Live, MIDI, sampling and workflow; turning loops into finished tracks; arrangement and song structure; sound design, synthesizers and effects; mixing and mastering; developing your own sound; detailed feedback on your productions; and practical advice about releases, labels, DJing and the music industry.
The lessons are practical and centred on your own music. We can work directly on your projects or build a track together from scratch. I am Lars, an international DJ and music producer with more than 25 years of experience. I have released music on labels including Golden Recordings, Mobilee, Nervous, Katermukke, Stil Vor Talent and Kittball, worked with Boris Dlugosch and Phil Fuldner, and produced remixes for Purple Disco Machine and Claptone.
