Master Creative Mixing and Turntablism
Learn how to flip genres, master the platter, and build sets that keep the floor moving. This is where we break down the technical art of the mashup and open-format performance.
Here's a look at using the gate cue feature on the DJM S11 mixer for some seamless tone play. In my course, we explore all the advanced features of pro gear to unlock your creativity.
Bombay meets Brooklyn. Watch me create a live mashup of classics 'Dil Se' and 'Jump Around' on the turntables. Learning to blend different cultural sounds is a core part of my DJ training.
Here's a saucy live mashup of Busta Rhymes and Ketchup, cooked up right here in the studio. We'll work on finding those perfect blends that get the crowd moving.
Being an open format DJ means bending genres and surprising the audience. This is me demonstrating that philosophy on the turntables, showing how we train you to be creative and versatile.
This is what I call the butterfly effect, blending two of my favorite tracks live in the studio. I teach you how to craft these moments and build a set that tells a story.

Expect the unexpected. Here’s a quick flip transition from Panjabi MC to Burna Boy, showing how you can switch energies in a DJ set. This is the kind of dynamic mixing we practice.
About this collection
Mixing isn't just about matching beats; it's about knowing when to drop a vocal sample or when to let the bass line ride. In this studio, we don't rely on the sync button. You will learn manual beat matching on professional Pioneer gear, mastering the physical feel of the turntable platter and how to use Serato and Phase to make transitions that actually surprise a crowd.
Being an open-format DJ means being ready for anything. Whether you want to blend Afro House with Bollywood or drop a classic Hip Hop acapella over a Jersey Club track, the secret is in the technique.
The Technical Foundation
In this course, we move beyond the basics. You will get hands-on with Pioneer PLX-1000 turntables and the DJM-S11 mixer. We cover the core skills that make a DJ stand out:
- Turntablism: From basic cuts to complex flares, we teach you how to use your hands to manipulate the sound.
- Tone Play: We go deep into mixing melodies and word play, allowing you to create a unique narrative across different tracks.
- Live Mashups: You will learn to use acapella bridging and EQ manipulation to create blends that you can't find on any playlist.
Why the Studio Environment Matters
Theory only takes you so far. Our studio in Indiranagar is built for one thing: getting you comfortable in a real club setup. We provide acoustic treatment, professional monitors, and the exact hardware you will encounter in high-end venues.
The 'Open Format' Philosophy
I don't teach you to play one genre. I teach you to read the room. We cover everything from setting up Serato Pro and Phase DJ to the psychology of the dance floor. If you are serious about moving from the bedroom to the console, this is the place to build your foundation. Come by for a demo, check out the gear, and let's get to work.
