Not sure which? DJ Headliners suits a kid who loves playing music for other people. Hit Makers suits one who wants to make their own. Everything else — the day, the gear, the group size — is the same. Looking for something during the school term? See classes.
Three days on real DJ controllers, working up to a set of their own that they perform for the room on the last afternoon. Then they take the music with them: every student leaves with a USB of over 100 tracks, analysed and beat-gridded so it drops straight into Rekordbox. They can keep practising the same transitions on the same songs at home.
In this speed lesson we rebuilt “Illegal” by PinkPantheress from scratch to show how a Grammy-nominated song is actually put together, layer by layer.
Hit Makers works the same way. Students pull apart songs they already love, learn the techniques behind them, then use those techniques on a song of their own.
Every Hit Makers student gets Splice Education — the industry’s leading library of samples, loops and production tutorials. It’s what professional producers pull from, and it keeps working long after camp finishes.
Nothing to buy and nothing to bring but a packed lunch and a water bottle.
DJ Headliners if they love playing music for other people — they learn to mix and perform a live set. Hit Makers if they want to make their own songs — they build a track from scratch. Both are beginner-friendly and run exactly the same way.
No. Both camps are built for complete beginners, and students who already make music get pushed further.
No. Everything is provided. They bring a packed lunch, a water bottle, and headphones only if they have a pair they like.
DJ Headliners students take home a USB with over 100 tracks, ready to mix. Hit Makers students take home their finished song, the project files, and Splice access to keep making music.
Both camps are booked and paid through LGS Recreation. The Register button opens their booking page, where the current price and remaining spots are shown.
