A DJ camp for all…
dB Sound Lab is designed for aspiring DJs of all ages. This month-long program runs twice a week (June 30–July 23) and offers hands-on training across personal DJ stations using DJ City, djay Pro, and industry-standard controllers. Students will explore the history of DJing, music theory, and how to operate traditional and mobile setups, while developing real-world skills like mixing, scratching, playlist curation, and performance techniques. The experience culminates in a student showcase on July 26, celebrating their growth and creativity behind the decks!
