Are you any of these DJs?

I get overwhelmed and fall back to basic in-and-out mixing.

I have lost that creative spark to try something new.

I envy those DJs who make it look ‘easy.’

I DJ regularly, but feel like I’m in my comfort zone too much.

I just don’t have the time to get to that next level.

That’s where we come in….
