At pointblank we curate some of the world’s best DJ courses, with alumni Nicole Moudaber, Claude Von Stroke and Patrick Topping making RA’s Top DJs of 2016 poll this year. Each of our students gets their own industry standard set up to work on in our Pioneer-sponsored DJ studio.

Liam Jones aka Cera Alba (Hot Creations, Mad Tech, Toolroom) takes a first-look at the Pioneer TORAIZ SP-16 and what’s possible with the new DJ/studio kit.
Traktor DJ Tutorial: Traktor for Beginners Part 2: Mixing
Traktor can be a little daunting to beginners at first glance. This is why we’ve created a brand new series focusing on your first moments with the software. The second of the series, this video is just a teaser of what you can expect to find on our new Traktor Pro DJ online courses.
Rekordbox DJ: Using the Sequencer & Sampler
Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox has quickly grown to become an extremely powerful cataloguing software and the go-to for DJs organising their music, playlists and sets. This year they expanded the software to become Rekordbox DJ, a fully-functional mixing software capable of creative performance and effects. We decided to give you a sneak peek at what’s possible using Rekordbox DJ’s sequencer and sampler option in the video above.
