Raveheads, clubbers, lovers of dancing and the nightlife: have you ever fancied spinning records yourself? A few buttons and faders – it doesn’t look all that difficult. Besides, that DJ at the last wedding you went to just seemed to be pressing ‘play’… So what’s the deal?

In this crash course, you’ll learn the basics of DJing. Because it’s so much more than just pressing a few buttons. The aim of this crash course is for you to be able to get started at home after this day and mix your first tracks.

Your guide through all this is none other than Thomas Schillebeeckx, aka the world-famous DJ Poldoore, who has already spread his sonic sunshine across festival grounds such as Dour, Tomorrowland and Giles Peterson Worldwide.

Practical

Be sure to bring your own headphones (with a standard or mini jack). WISPER will provide all the equipment you need to get started. That doesn’t mean, of course, that you can’t bring your own equipment. On the contrary, we’d love you to.

There’ll be a lunch break. So bring your own lunch, or buy something on the spot at Café Entrepot in OPEK or at the Lidl just round the corner.

Level of experience

Level 1: this is a beginners’ course, so you don’t need any experience or prior knowledge to take part!
