Qu’est-ce qui t’a donné envie de t’inscrire à cette formation de DJ ?
Je mixais déjà depuis plusieurs années, mais uniquement en digital. J’avais envie d’aller plus loin et d’apprendre le real DJing, avec des vinyles et une approche plus puriste de la discipline. Je souhaitais acquérir de solides bases techniques et comprendre des techniques que je n’avais jamais abordées auparavant.
Ton ressenti sur les cours et souvenirs jusqu’à la fin de la formation
La formation m’a permis de découvrir des techniques comme le beat juggling et des mouvements de scratch auxquels je n’avais aucune exposition auparavant. Ces apprentissages ont profondément élargi ma manière de mixer et m’ont ouvert des possibilités créatives que je n’imaginais pas. Les cours ont été très enrichissants et ont clairement contribué à faire évoluer ma vision et mon approche du DJing, mais aussi de la musique en général.

What made you decide to enroll in this class?
1. Tā kā man ļoti patīk mūzika, gribēju iemācīties miksēt dziesmas un veidot remiksus.
2. Gribēju sev jaunu izaicinājumu.
3. Es gribēju kļūt pārliecinātāka par sevi un iemācīties uzstāties!
Please share any comments, memorable moments and feedback you may have:
1. Līdz šim man nebija pārāk laba ritma izjūta, bet es iemācījos miksēt dziesmas tikai pēc dzirdes, kā arī miksēt izmantojot plates.
2. Visgrūtāk bija iemācīties scratching tehniku, bet DJ Yasu man deva labus padomus, kas ļāva man attīstīt šīs prasmes.

Cuando era niño, solía ver DJs de California, Europa y Puerto Rico tocando música de Hiphop y Techno en la ciudad de Tijuana, en México. Al verlos tocar, yo mismo me dije: “Yo también quiero hacer eso.”
Please share any comments, memorable moments and feedback you may have:
El maestro DJ YASU es muy paciente y sabe muchas cosas sobre rayar y mezclar discos de acetato. Le estoy agradecido por siempre explicarme palabras en japonés ya sea en español o en inglés.
Mi memoria más divertida fue cuando participé en el toque en vivo para la graduación de VIBESRECORDS.
