Starting from scratch, Iden will introduce the basics of what a DJ does, so you can go home with knowledge of how to get into this business. No questions are dumb, and all you need to bring is an open mind. In addition, we screen the documentary Everybody in the Place: An Incomplete History of Britain, 1986-1992 (2019, 60 min) by video and conceptual artist Jeremy Deller, which introduces in a captivating way where club and rave culture comes from and flourished over 30 years ago.

This course is for you who have never tried your hand at DJ-ing before, or who want to brush up on basic knowledge!
