The Garnish Electronic Music DJ course is a split-level course that incorporates the chance to play your own DJ slot at a our club night at various prestigious locations in Hong Kong – assuming you make the grade! To date, every student has!
The course has been devised in such a way that it caters for both beginners and bedroom DJs. And there’s no better way to learn from one of our exceptional roster of Electronic Music DJ instructors than in a group that never exceeds five students. In our DJ lab, you’ll find a generous selection of all the industry-standard gear that you’d expect to find in respectable club venues. This includes Pioneer Nexus decks with Rekordbox, Serato, Native Instruments Traktor with S8 controllers and even some vinyl decks (Technics 1200s) for the avid student to get to grips with. The whole course has been designed to be fun, and not some stuffy set of lectures – as that’s the best way to learn. If learning to play the most popular genres of electronic music under these terms sounds good to you, it’s time to sign up!
This is a fully comprehensive course that differs from our Underground DJ course in that the experience of your tutor and fellow-participants will be in the popular electronic music genre. Previously, we were not able to run genre-specific courses for DJs as our instructors couldn’t cover the specific music tastes of all participants – getting the perfect instructor was a matter of luck! Now that we’ve been able to specialize, we’re delighted to be able to offer this Electronic Music DJ course, where every participant can be secure in the knowledge that only like-minded fellows and instructors are taking part.
We aren’t able to guarantee that club nights will always be scheduled directly after your course, so if you’re attending this San Francisco course from further afield, that’s definitely worth bearing in mind. Therefore, if you aren’t able to make the lineup on the date in question, but would like to do so on a future night, please note that we’ll do our very best to make that happen.

The modern technology that goes into DJ mixers these days is a far cry from my original Made 2 Fade two channel mixer. This piece of crap was so prehistoric that it didn’t even feature any EQs, but I guess that didn’t matter as my mixing in those days sounded like someone throwing a piano down a flight of stairs!...
The excuse of being ‘stuck in the studio’ can be a poor one. For electronic music producers and DJs, portability is key to a successful career. For example do you remember the dancefloor killer ‘Groovejet’ by Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor? Well not only did it go to number one in 4 countries selling 600k in the UK alone, but also the track name comes from the fact the instrumental was made on a plane!...
As early as 2010, if you wanted to put together an album you were pretty much forced to shell out cash to a local recording studio. Or, even worse, you pretty much needed a record deal with a label of some sort....
Bottle service and bling is not always at the top of everyone’s agenda on a night out in Los Angeles. I mean, yes, it’s nice to see Leonardo Di Caprio sat in a booth with a bevvy of Brazilian models, but that alone is not exactly going to get the party rocking!...
Did you know that YouTube traffic makes up nearly a ⅕ of ALL internet traffic? Similarly, quite a bit of that is music consumption. It’s also common for labels to upload an audio tracks as video for YouTube,...
Everything on the playa is really just a build up to ‘The Big Burn’ and in 2014 three different monuments received a right royal toasting. First to go up in flames was The Embrace, which due to an alarm clock 'malfunction' we mistakenly slept straight through. Hey, who burns things at 7am in the morning? Where's the humanity?! ...
With dance music taking over the nightclubs and festivals of America and beyond, we thought we’d offer up a more leftfield selection of gatherings in the United States if you prefer your sounds of the more eclectic variety....
Top DJ and producer Sydney Blu is now residing in LA and we decided to have a Q&A session with her to find out what makes her tick both on the decks and in the studio....
Who are we, some may say, to answer the question what is Burning Man? After all, as virgin ‘Burners’ one veteran barely give us the time of day, let alone the chance to answer such a deep and meaningful question. Is there snobbery from older burners to the new school? Maybe a touch, but the majority of veteran campaigners greet newbies with a smile, not a sneer....
The Burning Man festival really is a truly astounding feast for the senses. Not only does it offer up a wide range of musical styles playing almost 24 hours a day, it also some of the most amazing art installations on the planet. Add to this a selection of courses, discussions and a seemingly bottomless well free bars; it’s safe to say there is never a dull moment on the playa....
So it has come to pass that a few of us at the Garnish Music Production School will be going on a little summer holiday; and when we say little, we mean the BURNING MAN festival! That’s right folks, it’s almost time for us to lose our virginity and make the pilgrimage into the desert to spend seven days with a fantastic array of naked hippies, flower power freaks and sparkle ponies....
