1-on-1 & 2-on-1 DJ lessons · Auckland

Learn to DJ.
Properly.

Four sessions over four weeks. Hands on the gear from minute one. Taught by a professional DJ who still gigs.

The gear

You'll learn on a Pioneer XDJ-AZ controller — widely regarded as the closest thing to a club setup outside the booth. Its layout mirrors the Pioneer CDJ-3000 decks and DJM-A9 mixer — the industry standard at clubs and festivals worldwide. What you learn here translates directly to the booth.

Why it works

No classes. No waiting your turn.

Group DJ lessons mean most of your time watching someone else play. Every session here is 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 — you're on the gear the entire time.

Hands on the decks from minute one

No slides, no preamble. You'll load your first track in the first ten minutes. Learning happens by doing.

Taught at your pace

One-on-one means I can push harder when you're flying, and slow down where you need it — without anyone else waiting.

Club-standard gear

The XDJ-AZ mirrors CDJ-3000s and an A9 mixer. You won't have to relearn anything when you step into a real booth.

Taught by someone who gigs

Everything I teach comes from what actually works at real gigs — track selection, reading a room, recovering from mistakes.

About

Meet your DJ coach

DJ Modu (AKA Andy)

From the Reactivate Trance and Techno days of the '90s to deep progressive house and trance, Modu (Andy) found a love for electronic music early and continues to enjoy and pursue his passion for DJing.

Nowadays Modu plays a mix of Organic House, Techno, Downtempo and Hypnotic Ethnotronica. You'll find him on the festival circuit and occasionally in clubs.

As a DJ instructor, he believes he can get anyone from beginner to DJing live events in just four sessions.

4-session course

What you'll learn

Each session builds on the last. One hour, once a week, four weeks — enough to get you mixing confidently and understanding what you need to work on next.

Gear, signal chain & your first tracks

Tour the XDJ-AZ, understand how the signal flows from deck to speakers, set your gain correctly, and load and play your first tracks. No experience needed.

Beatmatching & your first mix

Match BPMs by ear using the pitch fader and jogwheel — no sync button. Then make your first real transition: a clean blend from one track to the next.

Looping, effects, hot cues & more

Once you've mastered the basics of transitioning between songs, we'll look at other important functions like looping, effects, hot cues, etc.

Track selection & playing your first set

Music choice is half the job. We cover building a set, reading a room, and putting everything together — then you play a full set, ready for your first live event.
