There are more EDM DJs now than ever. Even if you're a seasoned DJ, it's hard to stand out to promoters or grow a following. The best way to stand out is to have your own music out there. But music production is a whole different beast, and it would take years to develop those skills.

How do you get started with producing music while still putting out tracks to market your DJ career? The answer is mashups. They're much easier to produce if you know the right tools and techniques — you just need to learn to translate your DJ skills into a DAW.

JSTDRMN is dedicated to helping DJs start their music production journey, which is why we built the Mashup Boot Camp — where you learn all the skills to get started with music production and make producing mashups a breeze.

By the end of the boot camp, you'll have a completed mashup ready to publish on SoundCloud.

What's included:

  • 6 hours of in-person class time
  • 1:1 instruction and support throughout the weekend
  • Friday community workshop a free Ableton fundamentals session on our Discord, open to the whole community (required for bootcamp students)
  • KSHMR Vol. 5 sample pack included free with your enrolment
  • Access to JSTDRMN producer community
