Group — 12 classes

Five stages, from night to star

The method is divided into five readiness stages. Each has criteria you know from day one, and none is skipped because of a high overall score.

FOUNDATION READY
MIX READY
LIBRARY READY
CLUB READY
PERFORMANCE READY

How progress is measured

Each competency moves through four states. Practice points show effort; readiness only comes from competence demonstrated and verified by the teacher.

Know — understand what it is and why
Hear — recognize it in the sound
Do — execute it in the booth
Prove — show it under assessment

The 20-second test

Two grooves with the same pattern. One of them swings: the off-beat sixteenths land a little late. Which one?

Each tick is a hi-hat. In the straight groove, all of them land on the grid. With swing, every other one lands late.

Hearing the groove comes before touching it. In the DJ Method, and in the ORBITA Music Lab listening challenges, this ear is trained on purpose.

Exam and portfolio

The course ends with a 20-minute performance exam and a 60-minute portfolio session. Your set is only published with your consent.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to play already?

No. The method starts with the booth and rhythm, and the individual format starts from a diagnosis of where you are.

Which software does the course use?

Rekordbox, from the basics to club level.

What is the difference between group and individual?

The pace. The competency standard and readiness stages are the same in both formats.

Does the course guarantee I will play at events?

No. ORBITA prepares you for the stage and measures whether you are ready; the stage is earned. Those who are ready find real opportunities in the ecosystem, such as ORBITA Stage.
