DJ Coaching
How do you learn to DJ properly in Berlin?
You learn to DJ properly by working through the fundamentals -- beatmatching, phrasing, EQ, and reading the floor -- with a working DJ who still does it every week. Frankie Flowerz has played Berlin clubs since 1984 and is resident at KitKatClub every Monday night; coaching is one-to-one, online worldwide or in person in Berlin, on a monthly membership you can cancel any time.
Who it is for
This is for beginners who want to start correctly and for intermediate DJs who feel stuck -- whether you are practising on controllers at home or stepping up to CDJs and a club mixer. Sessions are practical and progress at your pace.
What you will work on
- Beatmatching and phrase counting by ear -- no sync crutch
- EQ, filters, and gain structure on a club mixer
- Building and reading a record box for house and techno
- Energy management and reading the floor across a set
- CDJ workflow -- cue points, loops, hot cues, library management
- Recording and critically reviewing your own mixes
What you will walk away with
- Play a confident, smooth 60-minute set from start to finish
- Know how to structure a night -- warm-up, peak, closing arc
- Build a record box with genuine depth and personal identity
- Walk into a club booth and operate unfamiliar gear without panic
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need my own gear to start DJ coaching?
- No. Frankie will assess what you have access to and tailor sessions accordingly. Having any two-deck setup -- even a basic controller -- is enough to begin.
- Are DJ coaching sessions online or in person in Berlin?
- Both options are available. Online sessions run worldwide via video call; in-person sessions are available in Berlin. The free 20-min intro call is always online.
- How long does it take to learn to DJ?
- Most students can play a coherent mix within four to eight weeks of consistent practice. Playing confidently in public typically takes three to six months depending on how much you practise between sessions.
- What software or format does Frankie teach?
- Sessions focus on CDJ and club-mixer technique (the industry standard), but Frankie can also work with Rekordbox, Traktor, and controller setups depending on your goals.
- What does the monthly DJ coaching membership include?
- A flat monthly fee covers regular one-to-one sessions, mix feedback between sessions, and access to Frankie directly. Cancel any time -- no contract, no penalty.
