Reserve Your Seat
In our students' words.
“I wanted to thank you once again for the great night yesterday! Thank you for the unbelievable chance to play in such a good and big place as Exchange Club and for the chance to feel amazing emotions Djing! I hope you liked it and were glad about my set. I appreciate your help and support during the night! I had really good time! Your school and particularly Dj class are fantastic!”

Instructors
Before you enrol.
No - it's built for both complete beginners and bedroom DJs looking to level up.
Not as a group class - DJing is learned hands-on at the decks, so our DJ classes are taught in person. Online, we teach DJing one-to-one: ask admissions about private instruction.
Yes - if you make the grade, you'll play your own slot at a club night in one of Hong Kong's prestigious venues. So far, every student has made it.
Industry-standard club gear - Pioneer Nexus decks with Rekordbox, Serato, Native Instruments Traktor with S8 controllers, and even Technics 1200 vinyl decks.
Never more than five students, so you get real time on the gear with your instructor.
This one is genre-specific to popular electronic music, so your instructor and classmates share that same musical focus rather than a broad mix of styles.
