Course

Over the years of working with music and people in the music industry, I have accumulated experience, which over time has formed into a structured framework of knowledge. And I want to carry that knowledge forward.

I’m working on a full-fledged training course for DJs and producers. There won’t be recipes for quick success, promises of world fame after the first release, or abstractions from theorists. Instead, it will be a consistent system of learning and practical advice from personal experience.

I can’t tell you yet when the course will be available, but if you’re interested — leave your mail and I’ll let you know when it launches.

In 2017, I made the Psytrance Guide, a site with an overview of all psytrance subgenres. You can read about each style, listen to examples, and learn typical BPM range. It’s an educational and entertaining resource, made on pure enthusiasm.

Backstory

If you are a millennial, you probably remember the Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music. How awesome it was! As a music lover and a person who like when things are organised nicely, I used to spend hours on that site.

I was always thinking, too bad that guide is abandoned, outdated, and hence no longer reflect the variety of genres we have today, in Psytrance in particular. But then I realised: I can do it myself. I can do a website that probably won’t be that cool and fancy like the Ishkur’s guide, but fun and informative enough especially for those who are new to Psytrance. And in fact, I did. More on that on the blog.

What’s after

The site had a «viral» effect: within the first few days of its launch, it had been shared three thousand times. Since then it has been visited almost 250,000 times, and the Facebook shares counter is approaching ten thousand.

Armin van Buuren refers to Psytrance Guide in his master class on masterclass.com.
