Experience isn't just about how long you've been doing something. It's about how much you've learned — and how you've evolved.

I started DJing in 1997. Since 2009 it's been my full-time job — clubs, festivals, private events and international work, including years living and playing in London and seasons in Tignes.

In that time almost everything has changed: the formats, the gear, the software, the music and the way crowds discover it. I've changed with it. Today I play on modern controllers and club setups, and I use live performance techniques that didn't exist when I began.

What hasn't changed is what makes a DJ good: preparation, selection, timing and paying attention to the people in front of you. That's what I want to teach.

GAIN is built around craft and progression, not shortcuts. You learn things in a practical order, from someone who still does this for a living.
