Everything here runs in your browser. No account, no download, no trial that expires — open one, make a noise, close it again. Built to teach the thing they do, not to sell you something afterwards.
The skills you can only get by doing them. These make noise, so headphones on.
Load your own music onto two decks and beatmatch it for real — pitch, nudge, drift meter, mix recording. Files never leave your device, and there's still no sync button.
Load your tracks →Two virtual decks with pitch faders, nudge and a live mix meter. Pull a track out of time and drag it back — the bit that takes a hundred goes, with no queue for the decks.
Open the decks →Already mix? Deck A plays a hidden tempo — match it by ear and hold the lock. Pass and you can skip straight past the beginner lessons. The real skill, not a quiz about it.
Take the check →A metronome that counts the bars, phrases and 32-bar sections out loud on screen. Stop losing your place halfway through a breakdown and start hearing the map of a track.
Start counting →Tap along to anything — space bar works too — and read its tempo. Then lock the metronome to it in 4/4, 3/4 or an 8 count and practise feeling where the beat actually sits.
Tap it out →A browser sampler and beat pad. Chop, sequence and jam — so the first time you meet a real one, you already know what the pads are for.
Open the sampler →Drums, bass and synth on a step sequencer, with one-tap patterns for house, techno, breakbeat, 2-step garage, minimal and hip-hop. Hear what separates the genres instead of reading about it.
Build a beat →Know the key and the tempo and half the guesswork disappears.
Drop an audio file in and get its musical key, Camelot code, BPM and the keys that mix with it. The file is analysed inside your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Drop a track in →Tap any key and instantly see which keys sit next to it in harmony. The whole of harmonic mixing on one dial, without memorising a single chart.
Spin the wheel →The unglamorous ones that stop money and sets being wasted.
A few honest questions about budget, software and what you actually want to do — then a reasoned pick with two alternatives. No upsell to the priciest box, and it will tell you to buy nothing if that is the honest answer.
Take the quiz →Pick the controller you own and see exactly how every control maps to a club-standard CDJ-3000 / DJM-V10 booth — so the muscle memory you're building at home still works on the night.
Open the matrix →Every cable, adapter and emergency item that stops a set dying — 31 things, marked for what's genuinely critical. Tick it off on your phone, or print the PDF and keep it in the bag.
Pack properly →The bit that actually moves you on is someone stood next to you saying “that’s why it slid.” I teach one to one in King’s Lynn on the real thing — Pioneer CDJ-3000X, a DJM-V10-LF and Technics 1210s — not a controller you’ll never see in a booth.
