FRENCH I'm ENERVIU, a DJ and music curator based in Brussels. My sound ranges from UK club music like garage, bass, dub, and breaks to house, jazz, and funk selections. I play in various settings, from clubs to private events, and I also share my passion through videos about the history of musical genres. I offer a four-session introductory course to DJing, tailored to your level and tastes. My goal: to give you the basics to become independent behind the decks, develop your selection, and build a world that reflects your personality. Each session combines explanations, listening, and practical application. **Session 1 — Discover DJing and develop your listening skills** We will explore the role of the DJ and the different facets of their practice: club, radio, bar, or private event. We will discuss musical research, selection, and what gives a set its identity. Through listening, you will learn to recognize tempo, beats, measures, and musical phrases, as well as identify introductions, breaks, and repeats. These fundamentals will allow you to better understand the energy of a piece and the appropriate moments for a transition. *Objective: to acquire basic listening skills and begin making a personal selection.* **Session 2 — Understanding Turntables and the Mixing Console** We will discover the equipment and its essential controls: playback, cue, jog, tempo adjustment, faders, gain and equalization. You will learn how to use headphone pre-listening, adjust levels, and synchronize two tracks. We will cover beatmatching, both by ear and with available tools, to help you understand what you are doing and gain confidence. Objective: to get to grips with the equipment and perform your first sequences. **Session 3 — Preparing your music with Rekordbox** We will use Rekordbox to import your tracks, organize your library and create playlists tailored to your mixing preferences. You will learn to read waveforms, check the tempo and rhythmic grid, and then place useful cues using Memory Cues and Hot Cues. We will cover keys as a selection aid and prepare a USB drive compatible with the equipment used. Objective: to have an organized and ready-to-play selection. **Session 4 — Practicing and building your first mix** We will combine the acquired skills to link several pieces together: tempo matching, alignment of musical phrases and transitions using volumes and equalization. We'll also work on the progression of the set: creating an atmosphere, choosing the next track, gradually building energy, and letting the music breathe. You'll create a short mix that we'll listen to together to identify your strengths and areas for improvement. We will conclude with useful tips for a first performance: prepare your music, plan a backup and check the technical conditions of the venue. Objective: to create a first coherent mix and leave with exercises to continue progressing. Throughout the journey, we will start with the music you love to refine your listening skills, affirm your choices, and develop the pleasure of sharing it. **Session 5 — Preparing your first gigs and presenting your DJ project** We will explore the first steps to playing in public: contacting venues and programmers, sharing a relevant mix and clearly communicating your availability, rates and technical requirements. We'll cover the essential elements of a short biography, a press kit, and a technical rider. Drawing on my experience in clubs and at private events, we'll see how to adapt your offering to different contexts while staying true to your musical identity. Finally, we will build a personal action plan: skills to develop further, the next mix to record and venues to target for your first gigs. *Objective: to understand how bookings work and leave with concrete steps to develop your DJ project.* ENGLISH I'm ENERVIU, a DJ and music curator based in Brussels.

Hi, I’m Lars Moston, a Berlin scene veteran now based in San Francisco. I teach DJs at every stage, from complete beginners to experienced DJs looking to take their skills and sets further. I’ve played iconic Berlin underground clubs such as Sisyphos, Kater Blau and Watergate, as well as major festivals including Tomorrowland and Fusion, and world-renowned venues like Pacha Ibiza and Printworks London. I’ve released music on labels such as Golden Recordings, Mobilee and Nervous, remixed artists like Purple Disco Machine and Claptone, and collaborated, including b2b sets, with Boris Dlugosch.

I started making music as an adult. I always had that drive as a kid, but my family could not afford the lessons. Then life kicked in and there was always a good reason not to get into it. Until one day this old dream popped back up, and I stepped into a music store and got my first DJ controller. This completely changed my life, and a few years later I moved to Berlin to start a full course as a music production student. Fast forward a decade or so and I completely changed carreers and deep delved into sound engineering. Making music is a place of joy and fulfillment. The only regret I have is to have kept myself from doing it for such a long time. DO NOT WAIT, there is a great deal of happiness on the other side. I have a tried and true method that I tested on dozens of students, both in workshops and one on one sessions. It's designed to let you access the "having fun" parts in the least amount of time. This approach actually makes the learning curve much smoother, and lets you experiment on your own very quickly. Theory becomes more and more relevant as you go and perfect your skills, but I strongly believe that unlocking the joy potential early while building good habits is the key to any learning experience. Wether you are interested to get into DJing, Music Production or Mix Engineering, wether you are a complete beginner or have started to develop those skills on your own, I can help you streamline the process, avoid the pitfalls, debunk the myths, and accompany as you grow as a musician, regardless of the genres you're into.
