The key elements of DJing
Each DJ is different in terms of technique, musical selections and personality. Some will be able to transition from a wide variety of musical styles, others will stick to their favourite song or give the audience what they like! But what is the key to doing this? Do you have to spend hours reading the controller’s instructions? Do you have to study music theory? Do you just have to love music? As a teacher and DJ (SHADYA), Salima Bouaraour is a hands-on woman in the music business and firmly believes that empirical practice is accessible to the curious. The rest is just work and practice. Theoretical knowledge will eventually follow.
This workshop will allow participants to experiment with the basics of DJing regarding the selection of music (style, BPM, tempo), the modifications to be made to synchronise them (manipulation of the board) and to transition them (manipulation of the buttons). After a short demonstration, participants will be able to practice at their leisure and will be able to exchange on the challenges to be taken up in order to animate their future night of madness!
