This is your chance, your golden ticket to stardom. Whether you are an aspiring DJ who just watched “We Are Your Friends” with Zac Efron, or a professional in the industry looking to become more successful; this is what you have been looking for. Paul Oakenfold & his acclaimed industry friends have teamed up with The Los Angeles Recording School to put together a dream camp for EDM DJs and producers alike. This isn’t an ordinary class, but rather an intimate 5 day session with multiple industry connections and one of the most successful DJs/Producers of all time. We are talking about the man who basically helped shape house music and inspired many of the artists you listen to today. Paul has dedicated time out of his busy schedule to mentor students who truly have a passion for electronic music, while still managing to perform 75-85 shows a year.

The Camp will focus on: The Art of the Mix (DJ’ing 101), In-studio Production (Breaking it down), Publishing, Licensing, Marketing, Social Media, Radio, Agents & Management. All the things you absolutely need to get right to become successful. Availability is limited, while speaking to the Dave Phillips about the Camp he mentioned that there will be a capacity of around 25 students. This is to ensure that everyone in attendance will get enough one-on-one time. The instructor lineup is almost unbelievable, including a lot of people who helped pioneer the EDM industry:

So whether you’re a bedroom producer or a local DJ who wants to take their career to a whole new level, this is the dream-camp built for you. After speaking to Co-Founder of the camp Paul Reder I am convinced that this Camp is the real deal, it doesn’t get much better than this. The way he put it was: It’s like going into the gym and getting trained by the guy who looks like Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson. There aren’t many opportunities where you get one-on-one time with famous DJs, entertainment lawyers, and agents from William-Morris. All the questions you’ve ever had, will all be answered. How to trademark a name, when’s the right time to get a manager, what’s the point of an agent? These are all questions you have asked or will ask yourself one day if you plan on making a living off music. The door is open, only you can walk yourself in.
