Beginner DJ + Music Production Workshop & 343 Labs Berlin Open House

Join us for a free Workshop combining an intro to Music Production with the first steps of DJing, geared towards beginners who would like to get started with both. Two Berlin-based producers, Alex Iso and Keanu Raves, give an overview of producing music with Ableton Live and accessing industry standard Pioneer DJ equipment and the DJ software Rekordbox. Learn why Ableton Live is such a popular software among electronic music producers. Understand the process of creating music from scratch, all the way to playing your track in the club. This workshop is designed for beginners, or people who have produced with other software and are interested in getting started with Ableton. There are no prerequisites to joining, we’ll meet you at the start of you music production journey.

During the event, 343 Labs will be opening its doors for an Open House, where attendees can tour the facilities, learn about 343 Labs courses, and meet some of the instructors. This is a great way to get a feel for the community and programs at 343 Labs, meet fellow producers, and ask any questions you may have about our school.

Keanu Raves is an Ōtautahi (New Zealand) producer and DJ who began his journey through the underground in 2018 after an inspiring night out at the Berlin techno institution Tresor. This inspiration still courses through his music, which veers between classic Detroit style grooves and the reverb drenched chord-stab heavy sound of Berlin.
