About Ruben
I am a professional DJ tutor with over 30 years of experience as a DJ, music producer, and educator. After many years teaching and performing in London, I have recently relocated to Dubai to continue doing what I love most: music and teaching. I enjoy working with motivated students of all levels, sharing not only technical DJ skills but also real-world experience, musical understanding, and professional insight gained over decades in the industry.

My teaching approach is practical, structured, and fully personalised to each student’s goals, level, and musical background. I focus on building strong foundations while developing real-world DJ skills used in clubs, events, and professional environments. Lessons combine clear technical explanations with hands-on practice, ensuring steady and measurable progress.
A typical lesson lasts 60 minutes, although longer sessions can be arranged when deeper practice or performance preparation is required. Each lesson follows a clear structure, covering areas such as beatmatching, mixing techniques, phrasing, transitions, set building, music selection, performance confidence, and professional DJ workflow. I also help students understand how to prepare for gigs, record mixes, and develop their own style.
I have over 30 years of professional experience as a DJ and educator and hold a First-Class Honours BA in Electronic Music Production and a Master’s degree in Advanced Music Technology. I have taught through established academies in London, receiving more than 25 five-star reviews from students.
My lessons are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced and professional DJs, and are open to adults of all ages who are serious about learning and progressing as DJs.

This Summer, I searched for a company that could help take my DJing to the next level, and in August reached out to arranged a call with Ruben. Our first engagement was a long telephone call, where Ruben took all the time we needed to understand where I was coming from and looking for. We met shortly afterwards to start the bespoke course.
In our first lesson, it was clear where I thought I was in terms of capability was far short of the mark, and Ruben took me back to basics; music management, DJ pools, phrasing, music theory and understanding the true need and impact of EQs (never touch the highs!). The difference in my confidence, understanding and focus coming from the first 2 or 3 sessions was huge, and each time I fell short or needed something explaining again, Ruben was there to break it all down and build it back up.
Whilst I know how far I still need to travel to get to the level I want to be at, without Rubens help, coaching and constant support I wouldn't be anywhere near as proficient as I am, or know where and what to now focus on to keep improving and learning this amazing art.
In summary... if in doubt, don't be; Ruben is the best - a clear, confident, experiences and patient teacher who I now count as a friend.
I highly recommend this organisation and Ruben to everyone!!!!I booked weekly DJ training with JW very early on in my DJ career. Ruben was an absolutely great DJ and tutor, very knowledgeable and great teaching style. Within a month of completing my training I was able to get signed by two DJ agencies thanks to implementing all the tricks and mixing styles I learned from Ruben. Thank you!
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of taking six DJ lessons (each 2–3 hours long) with Ruben, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I came to him as a complete beginner. I knew absolutely nothing about DJing and Ruben has been nothing but patient, encouraging, and incredibly enthusiastic throughout the process.
From the very first lesson, Ruben made everything approachable and fun. His passion for music and teaching really shines through, and his natural ability to break down complex ideas into easy-to-understand steps made all the difference. Whether it was learning the fundamentals of beatmatching, understanding song structure, exploring different DJ techniques, or diving into the theory behind music and DJ software, Ruben made each lesson exciting and engaging.
Ruben is super organised and has given me brilliant tips and tricks for keeping my music library tidy and efficient. He has even been generous enough to share his music library with me!!
Ruben’s energy is infectious, and every session has been genuinely fun. He’s helped build my confidence, and I now feel ready to take on my first live crowd. I’m excited to continue my lessons with him in the coming months.
If you’re looking for a top-notch DJ instructor who’s cool, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your progress, Ruben is your guy. Thank you so much, Ruben!I highly recommend Ruben for the beginner course and for his performance. He is a skillful, holistic, and friendly DJ and teacher, who can teach you from understanding the very basic music theory to developing an appropriation of sound mixing. I had spent 4 nights with him, on a 1v2 course. And I became confident in mixing music and play with the DDJ controller.
I have learned so much from Ruben during the course I took over the last few weeks. He’s the ideal coach to have. From music tech knowledge, library building, and refining mixing technique, Ruben has helped me build a strong foundation with which I can excel.
I had a great experience doing a workshop in this academy. I always wanted to learn the feeling of being able to mix music and do some of the tricks DJs do, I have to say that is more complex than I though. However, I had the pleasure to have as tutor Ruben, who has been wonderful and passionate during the process, his knowledge and teaching techniques are superb, it makes the workshop so fun that I can recommend to anyone to do it with him.
