Dance music and the art of DJing is more popular now than it’s ever been. But we often hear people say, “DJing looks fun, but I don’t know how to get started.” It’s no surprise – we watch DJs having a great time behind the decks but we can’t see what their hands are doing. So, how did they learn to DJ?

Many professional DJs – including those with legendary status around the world – learned and honed their skills by watching and listening to other DJs, by practising and probably by making countless mistakes. These days, it’s much easier for people to start DJing because of all the new opportunities available such as DJ clubs in schools, where you can learn from others. But to get to the top, it’s important to heighten your understanding of DJing by carefully watching and listening to DJs perform. It’s an obscure art form and there are many ‘star’ DJs with only basic skills. Their rough sets prove it.

Luckily, perfecting the art of DJing is a fun process. To help, we’ve created a tutorial series for people who don’t know how to start, or don’t know what all the buttons do on club-standard equipment. The first 16 parts cover the basics of how to operate the equipment and perform. Once you’ve watched these videos, you’ll be able to spot the techniques used by DJs when you’re watching them mix, for example on Boiler Room, and learn more about what they’re actually doing.
