Free Beginner DJ Course

Learn to DJ.
No gear needed.

You don't need decks, a controller, or a single piece of kit to start. This free 9-lesson course teaches you to DJ from scratch using Rekordbox — the same free software the pros use — right on your laptop. We even hand you the Crossfader music pack, so you're mixing the exact tracks from the tutorials, step by step.
