Lots of interest for this and it will be starting next week.. Get involved.
Starting soon at RB 1on1 Course: MIXING VINYL
The original art form of DJing with vinyl is still as valid as it ever was, if anything it’s even more important in todays digital age to understand our foundations. The ability to mix two records together is one of the toughest challenges a DJ can overcome, there are no digital displays, no sync – just pure skill, well trained ears and a lot of practice is all that’s needed. Our proven incremental teaching techniques and home exercises breaks down learning to beat match into bitesize chunks helping you get there quicker. You are welcome to bring your own Vinyl but we can supply it also, in a range of Genres Ska, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Old school Hip Hop, Old School Rave and breaks, House, Garage, Techno etc.
Joff has been mixing vinyl since the late 80s having learned on belt drive decks at his local youth club, and then getting his first pair of Technics SL1210`s at Christmas in 1991 so rest assured you are in good hands.
