At pointblank we work hard to provide the optimum environment, top-class teaching and cutting edge equipment to help each and every one of our students reach their potential. Thanks to our connections in the music industry we also source and arrange career-making opportunities to ensure our students not only succeed while they’re at PB, but also out there in the highly competitive real world. As such, we’re excited to announce that pointblank have teamed up with Pioneer DJ to create a new initiative, aimed at fast-tracking some of our most talented students’ success within the music industry. If you’re hungry to boost your DJ career to the next level, the Pioneer DJ x pointblank Accelerator Programme could be the firepower you’re looking for.
pointblank London’s DJ Studio is sponsored by Pioneer DJ and features top-of-the-range kit including CDJ-2000NXS and DJM-2000NXS and the DDJ-SX controller
To kick this off, we’re looking for a student or recent graduate who has already played a variety of DJ gigs – these need not to be high profile as it’s potential that we’re looking for. Above all, the candidate will be hungry to go further – fast. The successful candidate will benefit from the combined support of pointblank and Pioneer DJ who will coordinate guest DJ slots at high level music industry events including Amsterdam Dance Event 2017. As well as access to top level DJ gigs, they will be invited to create guest mixes for renowned vlog platform DJ Sounds and Pioneer DJ Radio, with media support along the way from pointblank. This really is an unprecedented opportunity for up and coming DJ talent to showcase their talent and make vital connections within the world of electronic music!
The successful candidate for our Accelerator Programme will feature on DJ Sounds, which has hosted the likes of Second City (above), Laidback Luke, Anna, Eats Everything and many more.
