Crossfader - DJ workshop

WHAT IS THE WORKSHOP?

The workshop will be held at Pirate Leeds on Wednesday 23 August from 6-8pm. 

Jamie Hartley, Crossfader’s founder and DJ tutor, will offer an introduction to using CDJs, suitable for complete beginners.

After a demo, small breakout groups will be formed to allow you to practice these drills in small teams. Jamie will be on hand for one-to-one tuition to help you get familiar with the gear.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is tailored towards those who are completely new to DJing on CDJs. If you already know how to mix, this workshop will likely be too basic for you.
