The Basics with Janus Lauvring

DJ School, Episode 01

DJ SCHOOL is a series of videos available completely free of charge for anyone who wants to learn how to DJ.

DJ SCHOOL is created by the largest online music store in the Nordics — SoundStoreXL — in collaboration with Janus Lauvring. Janus has more than 25 years of experience as a DJ both nationally and internationally, performing at clubs, festivals, and everything in between.

The purpose of the school is to teach you the basics of a DJ setup and what it means to be a DJ — all based on SoundStoreXL’s expertise and Janus’ many years of experience.

In this episode, Janus walks you through the basics of an industry-standard DJ setup consisting of:

2 x Pioneer CDJ-3000

1 x Pioneer DJM-A9

Here, he demonstrates how everything is connected and what the two units can do, including:

How to select tracks
