This short programme is an ideal option for home studio owners, budding DJ Producers and people just driven by music. It provides a concise and intensive overview of producing dance music, from learning to make beats, to the full writing and mixdown process. Each person will work towards creating and mixing a track with the ideas, samples and music that have inspired them. This forms the basis for teaching each person about the equipment and what is relevant to them, be it working hip hop samples into a track or programming virtual drum machines. These are informal and relaxed working sessions where time is taken out at regular intervals to explain each stage in the construction of a track, demonstrating the techniques for producing dance music, whatever the style.
