Be honest…

Sound familiar?

You love house music, but your mixes just don't hit right yet.

Your sets don't sound like the pros

You can mix in and out, but it doesn't have that professional house feel, and you're not sure why.

Your transitions feel clunky

Tracks clash, you can't control the energy, and you end up rushing the next tune in to get out of it.

You're never sure what to play next

You spend hours digging for tunes and still don't know which ones actually work together.

It all comes down to technique, and that's exactly what this course teaches →

Taught by Jamie Hartley, Crossfader co-founder

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.

Practise with the music you love.

The course playlists feature tracks from artists like:

Swedish House Mafia
Chris Lake
Armand Van Helden
Fisher
PAX
Sonny Fodera
Dombresky
John Summit
Biscits

…and loads more.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask.

Do I need to be able to mix already?
Yes, you'll need the basics, like beatmatching and simple transitions. The course starts with mixing in key and EQ, then builds up to pro house technique. Brand new to DJing? Start with one of our beginner courses first.
What gear and software do I need?
Any DJ controller and rekordbox or Serato will do. The skills apply to any setup.
Do I need to buy music for the course?
No. We give you curated house playlists from the big DJ streaming services, so you know exactly what to practise with. The techniques work with any music though, so you can use your own library too.
How long do I get access? Is it a subscription?
One-time payment, lifetime access, no subscription. Learn at your own pace.
What if it's not for me?
We back the course with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not for you, email us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Applies to one-time payment only. Fair use applies, see our terms.
Will these skills work for other genres?
Yes. The mixing, energy and harmonic skills transfer to any genre; this course just applies them to house.
