It’s time to take your Digital DJing skills to the next stage. We’ve put together a solid workshop to help DJs who already know how to beatmatch to up their game. We know the challenges you’re likely coming up against, and we’ve devised the perfect Bass-ics session to answer your needs. Here’s what we’ll cover:
– intro / assumptions for the workshop
– different mixing techniques to vary it up, including phrasing, effects and loops
– how to transition between different genres of dance music
– how to save a mix that’s gone bad when you’re running out of time
– getting used to playing bigger sound systems and different situations
– transitioning with other DJs smoothly
– dealing with new equipment / that perhaps you weren’t expecting on the night
– dealing with nerves and confidence
– how to get DJ gigs, and how to behave so you get booked again

Experienced DJ and producer Paige Julia will be taking you through. She’s had over a decade on the decks, won Electronic Artist of the Year 2021, and she’s learnt the above lessons from experience in a vast range of situations.
Experience level: Intermediate. This workshop is for people who have already been DJing and practicing beatmatching tracks at home for several months. You’ll already know how to beatmatch, use the up and cross faders and the bpm slider.
We’ll have multiple CDJ decks set up so you can put your new knowledge into action and get that hands on experience to help it stick. You’ll come away with more mixing ideas, solutions for tricky situations, and greater confidence for future gigs.
Only 16 spots for this workshop so you get time on the decks, advance booking recommended. Tracks will be provided. It’s ideal if you can bring headphones.
We’ve run this workshop to great feedback in Pōneke / Wellington, but this is the first time we’re bringing the Intermediate workshop to Ōtautahi / Christchurch. We’ll be learning about DJing at XCHC Exchange Christchurch, which has hosted many solid DJ sets over the years.
These workshops are for people to learn about electronic music in a fun, supportive environment. This will be a welcoming, relaxed and interactive session where no question is silly.
We are also running an Intro to Digital DJing session on Sat 22 July 11am – 1pm, please choose that workshop if you are a beginner.
Please note we have a no refund ticket policy, but if you’re unable to attend you can post on the event page to resell your ticket.
