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
Santino is adept at demystifying the mixing process and is able to engage with young people of varying ages, abilities and attention spans. He is also aware of the need to take different approaches to young people and communicate in different ways. This enables him to develop positive relationships and build trust which in turn helps young people to unlock their creative talent.
Santino visited my home to teach my 10-year-old son who lacks a little self-confidence. Within minutes he was mixing songs and getting to grips with beats, timing and the different effects at his fingertips. Methodz is a submersive and interactive experience my son really enjoyed. I would highly recommend Santino’s services.
