Intro to Digital DJing Workshop - For Everyone

Want to learn how to DJ? This workshop is the ideal place to begin your DJ journey. It will give you a solid introduction to mixing those beats, and focus on the Bass-ics of how to use CDJs.

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 sure knows how to get those bodies dancing, so you're in good hands. You'll learn about what your DJing options are, what all those buttons do, and how to beatmatch tracks together on CDJs.

Then we'll have multiple CDJ decks set up so you can put your new knowledge into action and get that crucial hands on experience. You'll come away with a basic understanding of how to DJ, what option might suit you, and what you can do next to keep learning. Let's get mixing!

Maximum of 16 spots for this workshop so you get time on the decks, advance booking essential. Tracks will be provided. It's ideal if you can bring headphones but some will be provided.

We've run this workshop a number of times to fantastic feedback in Pōneke / Wellington and at music festivals, and are stoked to bring it to Ōtautahi / Christchurch for the very first time. We'll be learning about DJing at XCHC, which has hosted many solid DJ sets over the years.

'Bass-ics' is a series of workshops by The Sensonauts 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. No previous experience necessary, suitable for beginners.

Please note that we have a no refund ticket policy.
