Welcome to DJ Cheat Codes: The Secrets to Smooth Transitions.
What makes some DJ sets CRITICAL HITS and other critical misses? A huge and too-often-overlooked piece is crafting smooth and musical transitions.
In this 3 hour course, we covered everything needed to power up a DJ mix:
- Deciphering music structure and song composition.
- Uncovering the perfect spot in a song to transition.
- Developing quick transition techniques.
- Unlocking musical mashups.
- Harnessing energy, tension, and release.
- And more!
The live DJ Cheat Codes session has concluded and is no longer open for purchase. If you’d like to purchase access to archival materials or are interested in similar courses in the future, contact me.

Is the course appropriate for newer DJs?

I’m an experienced DJ. Would I still find this course useful?
Absolutely! A frightening amount of DJs (yes, even some of the ones you see headlining festivals and congresses) miss many of these basic techniques for making seamless transitions.
