• Learn to DJ on professional industry standard equipment, particularly Pioneer CDJs and mixers
• Take a deep dive into playlist curation, track analysis and file organization using Rekordbox, making blending and improvising in a live scenario fun, creative and easy
• Master the art of transitioning through an in-depth and hands-on understanding of effects, phrasing and EQing

• A laptop with enough space to install Rekordbox! Important note! We won't be using the newest version so hold off on installing until you get to class! (Don't worry, the software is free!)
  ( Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you do not have a laptop and we will help you as best as we can! )
• A FAT32 formatted USB stick / flash drive! No worries if you don't have one (or if you don't know what any of that means). We can provide you with one for $10 on the first day of school if you don't have one already.
• Bonus! (not necessary but appreciated) 5-10 songs you would like to DJ downloaded on your computer as MP3, AIFF or WAV files
  Email us at [email protected] with any questions about requirements! We will help you out as much as possible!!

Dailen Williams is a lot of things: a self-taught musician, a DJ, a visual artist, an educator, and an organizer. In her Queer dance-pop project she employs cheap old keyboards, guitar pedals and literal toys to create work characterized by buzzy basslines, shimmery drones, and secret polyrhythms.

A self-taught producer, Dailen began DJing and beatmaking in 2011, eventually going on to start various above and underground party-series around Providence with her peers, including the experimental club night Approximate (2016), the inflatable art installation series Ice Floe (2016-2018), the monthly queer dance party Hot Club II (2019-2020), the sober Queer party Que Dulce (2021-2022), and the local producer showcase Focus Group (2022-2023).

As a teacher Dailen prefers more a practical approach, grounding heady concepts in everyday examples and encouraging could-be artists to make beautiful work with what they already have. Dailen has prepared a deep, yet paletable curriculum that feels a bit more like a fun science class than a lecture.
