BJIOS’ top priority is the health & safety of our staff and students. We have invested in plexiglass barriers for each dj station, heavily enforce social distancing, closed all common areas, allow entry only to enrolled students (up to 12 students per class), minimize staff, temperature checks are taken at the door, and masks are required upon entry & are to stay on during the entire duration inside bjios, we provide breaks during class for students to get fresh air, hand sanitizer is provided upon entry and students are required to wash their hands prior to class & after, stations are sanitized thoroughly before and after each use several times a day, and staff tests weekly. We do not allow classes to intermingle and as that students do not loiter inside of BJIOS.

At BJIOS, we are focused on the fundamentals of DJing, mechanics, and technique. Our classes are designed for music lovers, aspiring DJs who want to learn more about the artform of DJing from instructors who are pioneers of the culture. Our students become familiar with both vinyl and digital platforms. Serious Applicants Only.

Contact an Admissions Representative by Scheduling a call or send an email so they may guide you in finding which class is the right fit for your DJ journey.

At BJIOS, we focus on dexterity, muscle memory, listening by ear & train students to be ambidextrous. We firmly believe that having a solid foundation of DJing as an artform maintains our philosophy of “Building Better DJs'“. Students will learn how to scratch, and mix by ear in entry level classes. Our Beat Junkie style of DJing has provided confidence & skills to our graduates & students that is unparalleled. With these new found technical skills, our students evolve to learning beat juggling & trick mixing skills from the Beat Junkies themselves who are considered one of the Pioneers of DJ Culture.
