Bootcamp

Do you ever look at the headliner and think that should be me? Or go to a show and think that you can do muuuuch better?

While you can try booking your own shows at a local bar or cold calling promoters, this bootcamp accelerates your DJ career way faster with experience on industry standard CDJ-3000s and professional media coverage to build your portfolio.

The program has 5 in-person weekly classes (3 hours each), and there will also be online support during the week. To maintain a high quality of education, bootcamps are limited to 5 students

At the end of this bootcamp, you will be booked for a JSTDRMN Showcase, where you can debut your artist project to hundreds of fans, collaborators, and industry professionals. Your set will also be recorded - here's some examples.

And this is just the beginning! Our past bootcampers have gone on to book opening acts with international touring artists and start their own events series!

"I've always thought about trying out DJing

in the past. I've downloaded free software

and done my own personal mixes.

So, when I heard about this bootcamp,

I thought this was a good opportunity

to put some structure to what I was doing

so that I could learn from professionals.

Not just by Googling."

"I've always been interested in electronic music

shows growing up and I just figured why

not try getting behind the decks?

I've always wanted to pursue

something creatively,

and I felt like this was most aligned.

I came across Just Dreaming's bootcamp,

so I decided to apply.

I think before the bootcamp started,

I was nervous around my little Flex 4,

and after coming here and being exposed

to the CDJ 3000s, I feel less intimidated

and very comfortable."

JADED CHRISTINA
"I've always really enjoyed electronic music.

When I was really young, I was inspired

to want to DJ.

It's hard to pursue on your own online.

It can be really hard to follow

the online tutorials.

So I just thought why not give it a shot?

I can afford the bootcamp if I got it.

I felt why not just take that chance

and see if I get the chance to follow

that passion to try to DJ for the first time.

I think overall, it was pretty well structured.

I got a lot of value out of the class."

"I've always been really passionate about music

and Hardstyle, and what I wanted to do was

learn how to DJ

and to really just spread Hardstyle

to the local scene.

I found out about the bootcamp on Instagram.

I thought it was a great opportunity

for me to learn how to DJ

and learn how to spin Hardstyle."

"Learned the skills. Found the most

supportive community a new DJ could

ask for. JSTDRMN helped me create an

unforgettable debut and opened the

door to endless opportunities!"

PAPRIKA
"Joining JSTDRMN's DJ Bootcamp was

one of the best decisions I've made in

my musical journey. The mentorship

from real DJs who genuinely cared

about our growth was incredible,

and being surrounded by such a

supportive, and motivating

community made the learning

environment truly inspiring.

Everything building up to playing

at my first show alongside my

fellow boot campers is truly an

experience I will never forget.

If you're serious about DJing

and want a community that

lifts you up, this is the perfect

place to start."

KUYA
"Going from zero to performing in

front of 500 people was intense

— but in the best way. I’m so grateful

to have met everyone in the

JSTDRMN collective — I came in

as a student and left with a family."

BRB
"I was honestly hesitant to join this

bootcamp at first, mainly because

there were plenty of free resources

online. But now I can confidently say

it was one of the best choices I've

ever made. From day one I was

using club-standard gear, being

taught in person by experienced

DJs, and being surrounded by

people who actually want to see

you grow. The connections I made

were amazing, and the fact we got

the opportunity to show what we

learned in front of hundreds of people

is unreal. If you're serious about DJing

and want to have a huge initial boost,

this bootcamp is 100% worth it."

FIZE
"One of the most transformative

experiences of my creative

journey. The instructors are not

just experts in their field; they

are passionate mentors who

invest in your growth, providing

invaluable feedback and

guidance every step of the way.

I’m incredibly grateful for

everything I've learned and the

confidence I’ve gained in

my creative abilities."

SHEF JEFF
"In less than 2 months, I went

from "what do DJs even do?"

to performing live

in front of 400 people!

Joining the JSTDRMN DJ

bootcamp was one of the best

decisions I made because not

only did I learn a new musical

skill, but also joined a community

of welcoming and talented

artists."

SANDY SEA
"This bootcamp gave me a solid

foundation to start DJ'ing. All the

fundamentals were covered at a

level that allowed me to grasp the

concepts without feeling

overwhelmed. In short, it’s one of

the most enjoyable classes

I’ve ever taken!"

ALI KHANN
"Best DJing course you could take

getting into DJing as a hobby

or even want to take a step

further!! :))"
