DJ SCHOOL RETURNS

The Santa Barbara DJ Academy returns to Velvet Jones in October
when the 12-class, six-week course starts on October 9. Instructors
include such State Street spinning luminaries as DJ Gavin Roy, DJ
Hectick, DJ Patrick, DJ Zeke, and DJ Craig and topics include
vinyl, CD, and Serato mixing techniques as well as music theory,
programming, and acquisition. There’s a textbook, resource guides,
and even a graduation weekend at Velvet Jones and Q’s
Sushi-a-Go-Go. So for those aspiring mixmasters wanting to make
bigger bucks, head to the Velvet Jones on October 4 at 5 p.m. for
the open house. See sbdja.com or call 682-5032.
