What students say about this course

Mitch, Australia

Highly recommend any new or experienced DJs to do the online courses, teaches you step by step how to use software and controllers in a simple to follow series of videos. It has definitely helped my DJ skills and I’m sure it will do the same for you!

Michael, USA

The practices and exercises make the process of learning easy. The guidelines are easy to follow, and the explanations are super helpful and easy to understand. I feel confident taking this course that I think I will come out being successful in DJing.

Gaz, UK

After a ten year break from DJing, I picked up again with a small controller and the Rekordbox software and although the basics haven’t changed the way to interact with your music through software has. There is so much available and can be a bit overwhelming. The Rekordbox courses are clear with good examples and great structure which helped me find my way around.

Before you start

What you need

We have developed this course so nearly any DJ, with any setup, can learn how to transition between genres confidently! The course is filmed using a variety of DJ controllers, using the Rekordbox & Serato DJ software. There are also specific videos on how to set up certain effects and settings in Traktor Pro 3.

This course is suitable if you're using a controller with Pioneer's Rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Virtual DJ, Traktor or Alogoriddim's DJAY Pro as long as you can change the tempo range. It is also compatible if you own a Pioneer XDJ RX or XDJ RX2 all in one unit or the Denon Prime series.

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.
