From Layering to FX: Advanced DJ Techniques for Creative Mixing 
(Required skill level: intermediate/advanced)

This advanced DJ workshop is perfect for those looking to push their creative limits. To get the most out of the session, it's important that you’re already comfortable with beatmatching and have an organized Rekordbox library. We’ll dive into layering and looping techniques, mixing multiple tracks, and creating new arrangements by focusing on specific elements and frequency ranges. We’ll keep things minimal but impactful, with each workstation featuring reverb and delay FX pedals to enhance your creative expression. While the focus is on techno, we’ll also draw inspiration from other genres, giving you fresh ways to transform existing tracks. Bring your music, your headphones (with a cable), and get ready to craft something truly unique!
