Need a few helpful starter pointers? Or maybe just a cheeky reminder of a few mixing techniques?

Take a listen to DJ Bolivia and his comprehensive tutorial on beat-mixing for beginners; it’s a great starting point for any budding DJ’s. Don’t worry, his music knowledge far surpasses the levels of creativity he used in coming up with his stage name. Whilst the clip is a long one and there are a few slightly skewed teaching methods (you’ll see), he provides an extremely detailed run-through of numbers, theory and techniques that will help kick start or hone your skills as a DJ – and to be honest, if you don’t have the patience to sit through a 1-hour tutorial then you should probably re-think about your goals of becoming a DJ.

For those more experienced beat makers the guy has tutorials on just about everything – including mixing vinyls, audio recording, ableton, mastering, effects and more.
