The digital mixing course is taught by Yellow Tape’s resident DJ and team member Nour Fahmy, and consists of four weekly sessions. It covers everything aspiring DJs need to enhance their sets, from an introduction to the CDJ and Deck setup to cueing, beat matching and mixing techniques.
Meanwhile, the vinyl or analog mixing course consists of eight sessions, with two classes per week. The course is taught by Yellow Tape’s co-founder, Hazem Hossam, taking students from the history of vinyl records through the mechanics of the turntable and its components, and into the construction of sets.
Both courses’ curricula provide students with tips on digging and researching for different types of records and music, as well as plenty of time to practice, to help them feel confident and comfortable whilst performing behind the decks.
