Great news. I just tracked down a wicked series of videos for you! These were filmed for DJ Download and Pioneer CDJ customers only in a special promotion but I found them to show them to you! Get your FREE video DJ Lessons on DJ Gear, Mixing and Playing gigs by clicking Here right now!

Legendary girl DJ Sarah Main is a resident at the famous and massive Pacha Ibiza (seen below)!

She invites you into her beautiful villa for a series of videos showing the basics of how to get into the scene and how to start mixing for anyone that wants to learn to dj .

She shows you how to mix using Pioneer CDJ400s (dj cd players) and the Pioneer DJM400 mixer. Great gear to start off on (but a little on the expensive side).

There is a series of 5 videos all of which build off the one before it. The videos that I will be sending out the the newsletter will go above and beyond these tips but this is a great start to your dj training!

The rest can be found below.
