CDJ 101 w/ Bridget Chappell & Vito Lucarelli - Get behind the decks @ 8CCC Sunday Sets

What are CDJs? Are they meant to be like turntables? Am I allowed to use the crossfader? Why am I meant to beatmatch? What does EQ stand for? How do I record a mix? 

Join us to answer these questions and more together - it turns out there are no wrong answers. Bring 5-10 of your favourite songs or tracks of any style on a USB and learn how to analyse and organise them in RekordBox, build a set, and mix them on CDJs before heading to Montes Lounge to get behind the decks at 8CCC Sunday Sets.

Vito Lucarelli // Something/Anything? is a presenter and hoarder of the kitsch.
