About DJ Methodz
DJ Methodz exists to provide expert DJ tuition for people in Hull and the surrounding areas. Our challenge: to offer the opportunity to anyone to learn to DJ; to reach those who don’t normally get the chance; to build confidence and self-esteem; to broaden horizons; and to find the DJs of the future.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never DJ’d before. We supply accessible, entry-level equipment for absolute beginners, intermediate for those who are ready to take the next step, and club-standard for those who are aspiring to be professional or simply want to experience the best.
DJ Decks are now considered to be a musical instrument, just like the piano, the drums or the guitar. Therefore, accomplished DJs can be thought of as skilled musicians. We will introduce you to the very best gear – Pioneer, Technics, Denon, Allen & Heath – and use a range of musical genres including House, Techno and Drum & Bass to hone your DJ mixing skills.
We typically deliver workshops in youth work settings or schools, so you can learn to DJ as part of an Arts Award, a Duke of Edinburgh Award or potentially a Music GCSE. All of our workshops are COVID compliant, and equipment fully PAT tested and insured.

Testimonials
Young members who took part clearly enjoyed themselves. Santino gave them a good understanding of how the decks worked, they listened attentively and enjoyed the process. Most of all they enjoyed making music.
The DJ Methodz workshops were excellent, with young people engaging across 2 groups from ages 8 to 24, with all absolutely loving it. Santino has a natural style which made even the complete beginners feel at ease, whilst challenging those with more ability to push themselves. Top class teaching/mentoring, top class equipment, and all together a top class few weeks of workshops. We are constantly getting asked by the young people “when is he coming back?” Thanks Santino, we will be booking again very soon!
