"Last year I spent just 2 hours with Bill... He taught me his tips and tricks and by the time I left his studio I felt so confident in my mixing skills that I started playing shows just a few weeks after."

Yes, you can find lots of tutorials online but they're not organized into a sequence covering everything you need in an order that makes sense.
Most courses cost $1000 or more and want you to buy expensive equipment, costing you thousands!
Watching YouTube videos can be good but to actually learn it's important to have practice exercises that are easy to follow.
Learn how to DJ using beginner and advanced mixing techniques, organize your music into playlists using advanced tagging and sorting methods not used by most amateur DJ's, build the ideal set-list, and establish your brand.
Don't let questions go unanswered! Connect with your instructor face-to-face and get all your questions resolved. Receive personalized feedback and unlock the secrets of the DJing world.
These exercises are specifically designed to challenge students and provide them with regular opportunities to hone their craft, develop their technique, build confidence and take their performances to the next level. This comes as a bonus module after day 7.

You value speed and efficiency! The main goal of this course is to teach you faster than any other method available.
This program is designed for those wanting to get started DJing and for those who know how to DJ already but want to become a professional DJ by learning advanced mixing techniques and learn more about the music industry. If DJing professionally is not something that interests you and you simply just want to learn for the sake of having more fun with DJing then this program is for you too!
The fundamentals of DJing apply to every genre of music. The content will mainly focus on electronic genres such as House, Dubstep, Trap and DnB.
You will have access to all the benefits for as long as you are a paying member. Membership fees renew on a yearly basis. Upon enrolment, you can enjoy access to this program on any of your devices. The program is comprised of 7-days of skill development content and exercises. The program doesn't end there however! Use these skills in daily practice to continue honing your craft, getting better with each passing day! Additional modules outlining various controllers, decks, mixers and DJ softwares will be added as time goes on so that you can always have the latest, up to date training available.
You can follow along using any set-up including: ipad compatible setups, all-in-one decks, controllers, and industry standard equipment such as Pioneer CDJ 2000 NXS and DJM 900 NXS series models. The main equipment used in the tutorials will be 2 x CDJ 2000 NXS2 and DJM 900 NXS2. Ultimately it does not matter what you have. Anything will work! Even if you have just a computer or iPad you can get started without a controller.
Absolutely! In fact, my first 8 years as a DJ were spent inside of Traktor which is a fabulous software and huge DJs such as Troyboi and Mersiv use Traktor controllers to DJ with. You can even use some of these softwares without a controller. That's right... just your laptop. That's how I practiced before I had money to buy my first controller.
If you do not have equipment that is fine. As long as you have a computer you can follow along and learn everything you need to know.

The short answer is yes, however the lesson's taught on Youtube are not arranged into an order that is conducive to your growth.
Have you ever noticed a lot of Youtube videos tend to be 15-20 minutes in length and only teach 1 small thing. The platform is designed to entertain and keep you there for as long as possible. Plus the algorithm rewards creators for keeping their audience on the channel for longer periods of time. Yes, your time. So, do you have time to waste?
One of the first things taught inside this course is having the proper mindset. With that I'd like to say something to you: You absolutely 100% CAN do this.
As a fall-back... on the off-chance this just "isn't for you". We offer a 14-day money back guarantee. Simply email support@billslinnton.com to ask for your refund. The 14 day trial will not begin until the pre-sale period is over.
The answer to that question depends largely on you. The sky is the limit and there is nothing stopping you from doing what I did when I started out. I approached a small venue after 3 weeks of DJing and asked for available opportunities. I said yes to the first opportunity and was hired to come back every single week for the remainder of the year after I showed them my skills.
The more your practice the better you will get. Remember, you don't need to spend $1000's on new equipment. You can get started with as little as $100 and buy a used controller. Assuming you have a laptop to use with the controller and a pair of headphones then you're good to go!
My name is Bill Slinnton and I've been making music and playing instruments since about the time I was able to write. I started DJing in University in 2011 and within just 3 weeks of having Traktor on my laptop I was getting paid to DJ all the local pubs, clubs and local nightlife. When I finished University I moved back to my hometown, Toronto. I started my own company where I DJ'd top 40, house and hip-hop at restaurants 3 nights a week earning roughly $30,000 in my first year. This was just side-income that i was earning in addition to my regular job. After doing this for a couple years I decided to move away from that side of DJing and focus my energy into the areas where I could play the music that I really wanted to play: house, dubstep, trap, deep-dub, dnb and all the sub-genres that fall in between! Since making the switch I have played numerous local music festivals and opened for the likes of Stooki Sound, Troyboi, Electric Mantis, LAXX, iLL Gates and many more.
Fast forward 10 years and after all of this experience the #1 thing that I learned is that you don't need the most expensive decks/controller, top of the line headphones, or tons of experience to be making money doing something that you love 🖤.
Once you understand the fundamentals of mixing music you can make DJing your life.
That's enough about me though... you probably don't care much about who I am and why I created this course. What you really care about is how much I can help you! Since the beginning of my DJ career I have helped numerous DJ's in my local scene see and understand concepts that they didn't know that they didn't know.
You see, there are things that you know... things that you know don't know... and things that you don't know that you don't know. This is where I come in 😉.
Anyways, I'm here for you and to help you on your journey to becoming the DJ that you've always wanted to be and I can't wait to meet with you in the private community.
