I give mix lessons for beginner DJ at home or at home (Rhode-Saint-Genèse).
I travel to Rhode Saint Genèse, Waterloo, Braine-l'Alleud, Lille, Lasne, La Hulpe, Hoeilaart, Uccle, Beersel, ...

Styles worked by default: EDM, House, Electro. But possibility to work on other styles: Dubstep, Trap, etc.
You can quickly make your arrangements and record your own sets to make yourself known and finally mix at events.

Having the reputation in the middle in the region, the possibility of mixing in the evening (private and night club) with me is not excluded once the minimum level required is reached.

For home classes: Hi-Fi installation required on site!

NB: The material used for the courses is professional equipment of the brand Pioneer so that the student is familiar from the beginning with what he will find most often in the evening (bars & nightclubs)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

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 teach everything related to electronic music, both theoretically and practically: DJing, digital and analog production, audio recording, mixing, compositing, etc.
My classes are tailored to each individual's needs and expectations. In addition to video lessons, I can also host classes directly in my studio to practice directly on my equipment (mixing desk, vinyl turntables, synthesizer, modular, drum machine, effects machine, piano, etc.). For those who live in Brussels,
I can also come to your home if you prefer.

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.
