[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/they_say_encore/dj-training/gallery) DJing is about more than just playing tracks. It’s culture, gear, community, and the stories we share. Here is a peek into my world, from podcast chats to the records I spin at home. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Had a great time on The Vic Fix podcast.

Whether it’s a chat on 'The Vic Fix' podcast about current DJ trends or a late-night home mashup session, these clips show how I think about music outside the club booth. Take a look at my setup and the culture I live by—if you like the vibe, let's talk about getting you behind the decks. ### More Than Just Beats People often ask what it takes to be an open-format DJ. It’s not just about knowing how to beat match; it’s about understanding the psychology of the dance floor. This is exactly what I teach at my Indiranagar studio. We spend time on the 'why'—why a track works in a Bollywood set, how to blend Hip Hop with Afro House, and why your transitions need to be seamless. ### Life Behind the Decks My studio in Bengaluru is where the work happens. From manual beat matching on Pioneer CDJs to sound design in Ableton, it's all about hands-on practice. I don't believe in just giving you theory. You’ll be on the hardware from day one, whether you are taking my Foundation Course or diving deep into advanced turntablism. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need my own equipment to start?** No. The studio is fully equipped with industry-standard gear. You learn on the same tech you will find in clubs across India. **How does your open-format training differ?** Most courses focus on one genre. I focus on the *mix*. We cover live mashups, tone play, and how to read a room, which is the most important skill for any working DJ. **Can I book a studio visit?** Definitely. Swing by to check the setup, meet the team, and get a feel for the environment before you sign up for any course. ## About Yankur Chetia I’m Yankur, a Bangalore-based DJ and instructor who’s been living for the music since 2008. When I’m not teaching in Indiranagar or playing a club set, I’m probably hunting for new vinyl or nerding out about DJ tech.
