Built by DJs, for DJs.
Every lesson inside Crossfader is taught by working DJs who've spent decades in club booths and on festival stages, from Printworks to Creamfields. We've taken everything we've learned from all that experience and turned it into a clear roadmap for DJs like you.
Jamie Hartley
Our instructor, Jamie Hartley, a seasoned DJ with over a decade of experience, began his career as a full-time DJ at the age of 16. Since 2014, he has grown Crossfader from a small UK-based DJ school where he personally taught aspiring DJs, to the renowned global online DJ school and community it is today. Through years of one-on-one instruction in a studio, Jamie has developed a foolproof and systematic approach to teaching DJ skills and techniques. Unlike other DJ schools, Jamie focuses on teaching the creative skills that make you stand out.

Tom Smith
Tom is a classically trained musician and DJ who brings a deep understanding of music performance into modern DJing. After graduating with First Class Honours in Music Performance from the Royal Northern College of Music, he has performed in hundreds of venues internationally, from local clubs to iconic stages like the Royal Albert Hall.

At Crossfader, Tom teaches DJ fundamentals, creative mixing techniques, and practical workflows designed to help DJs perform with confidence, control, and their own unique style.
