Who this course is for
For anyone who already plays and wants to go further, whether that's been at home or already in a club.
What to bring
A USB stick set up for the CDJs, with your music as WAV or AIFF files. MP3 works too, but it isn't the standard for professional sets. Plus your DJ headphones and, if you like, a set you've already played. That's what we'll work on.

Annika Stein
When Annika Stein plays, you notice it in the room first: heads come up, the rows move forward. She builds her sets as one long arc, with patience for the climb and a feel for the moment it has to tip. She is known above all for her closing sets at MEAT Market in the Grelle Forelle: what she builds at the end of a night has long since travelled far beyond Vienna. As a DJ and as a promoter she is a fixture in the city's queer techno scene, and she plays from Berlin to São Paulo. She runs MEAT Studio together with Wered Fuchs. What she passes on in the course comes from nights when nothing went to plan: the finer points on the gear, the breath to carry a whole hour, and the calm to turn the evening around anyway.
