Hi, my name is Davide and since the age of 16 I have had an unbridled passion for electronic music, and it is thanks to this that I am now a professional in the sector.

Furthermore, the possibility of learning mixing, listening and production techniques. You will have some knowledge about the figure of the DJ and the way of being a DJ who expresses himself using vinyl as a means of transmission for his passion and musical message that you wish to send to the dancefloor. Join me! I can’t wait

About Me

I am a very precise person with excellent communication skills, I do this job out of passion and because I love music. I would like to best convey the meaning of being a 100% DJ and give a complete vision on both a technical, structural and research level. For me it is important to have values when teaching something. Music is a very important element in the history of man, it is not worth neglecting this question. Music is able to give peace to body and mind.

This class is for audiophiles looking for a springboard and tools to get started in Djing (all types of music). I offer relaxed, privileged moments to pass on the technical basics, tips and tricks, and everything else you need to feel confident enough to get to grips with turntables.
Sessions generally last 2 hours (1h30 minimum) and we start from your own musical selection, and according to your objectives.

I’m a sound engineer, music producer, and DJ with a degree from Point Blank Music School (London) and more hours logged at Le Zéro Studio in Brussels than I care to admit. I’ve produced, mixed, and mastered across genres — from rap to electronic to “what the hell is this but it slaps.”
I'm also working on my solo project, if you want to check the proof in the pudding ("imyraj" on all platforms).

Classes will cover the following:

- Music production on Ableton Live 10, 11 & 12 or lite, if you are a beginner.
We can go all the way from the basics of the DAW to music theory, creative sound design, sound engineering, mixing, and mastering, depending on your level.

- DJing
Dj classes will cover everything from preparing your tracks, beat-matching, creative FX, sampling, and understanding what makes a set flow. All genres are welcome, we can practice on your favourite genre!
Software used: Rekordbox or Serato DJ

DJing will be taught on the brand new Pioneer Alpha Theta GRV-6.

I started making music as an adult. I always had that drive as a kid, but my family could not afford the lessons. Then life kicked in and there was always a good reason not to get into it. Until one day this old dream popped back up, and I stepped into a music store and got my first DJ controller. This completely changed my life, and a few years later I moved to Berlin to start a full course as a music production student. Fast forward a decade or so and I completely changed carreers and deep delved into sound engineering.

Making music is a place of joy and fulfillment. The only regret I have is to have kept myself from doing it for such a long time. DO NOT WAIT, there is a great deal of happiness on the other side.

I have a tried and true method that I tested on dozens of students, both in workshops and one on one sessions. It's designed to let you access the "having fun" parts in the least amount of time. This approach actually makes the learning curve much smoother, and lets you experiment on your own very quickly. Theory becomes more and more relevant as you go and perfect your skills, but I strongly believe that unlocking the joy potential early while building good habits is the key to any learning experience.

Wether you are interested to get into DJing, Music Production or Mix Engineering, wether you are a complete beginner or have started to develop those skills on your own, I can help you streamline the process, avoid the pitfalls, debunk the myths, and accompany as you grow as a musician, regardless of the genres you're into.
