Stem Music — DJ Fundamentals
Self-paced online DJ course · 9 streaming video lessons · Included with every LaunchPath tier
Want to learn DJing online, from zero? DJ Fundamentals is a 9-lesson video course that takes you from complete beginner to gig-ready on the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4/DDJ-400 workflow — the controllers most beginner and club-adjacent DJs in India actually use. You'll learn beatmatching, transitions and set building, and practise every lesson on a browser-based virtual DDJ-FLX4 controller with quiz — no hardware needed to start. Taught by Pulkit Bajaj (Joy Disc), a working DJ and the founder of Stem Music Academy, East Delhi.
