Why Our DJ Training Courses in Vancouver Stand Out
Our DJ Courses take place in creative, artist-driven spaces like Bully’s Rehearsal Studio, Pandora’s Box, and Jamnasium Studios in New Westminster—ideal environments for immersive learning and growth. With mobile-friendly options and easily accessible transit routes, our academy is built for convenience. What sets us apart is our foundation in passion, innovation, and real-world application. We collaborate with respected DJs like Dan Bartake (aka Flatland Funk) to inspire our students with authentic, on-stage experience and creative mentorship.
“Our goal isn’t just to teach DJing — it’s to help you become a confident performer who understands both the craft and the culture. We see talent in every student who walks through our doors.”
Dan Bartake was one of the very first students to come through our DJ Academy. With raw talent and a passion for the craft, he quickly stood out — and over time, transformed that early training into a full-time career. Now based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Dan is a respected music producer and touring DJ, performing across Western Canada under the name Flatland Funk. His journey is proof that with the right foundation and mentorship, our students can go on to do incredible things in the industry. So come join our DJ Training Courses.
