As a DJ, I’ve spun in cities all over the world, including London, Tokyo, Lisbon, and Paris opening for iconic artists like Jay Z, Nas, Public Enemy and Jurassic 5. My scratching skills can be heard on countless major label albums, top movie soundtracks, and national commercials.

The class provides foundational learning and lifelong skills any vinyl collector or appreciator will value , including an active participation in spinning.

Everyone brings their own skill set to DJing without even knowing it, and Burt helps amplify that from start to finish with one on one teaching. Come discover yours with Burt MOTHAFUCKIN’ Blackarach.

I loved the experience! We were 5. Burt was very patient with everyone. We learned a lot about vinyls. It was really nice to be able to practice in a real studio. And Burt even offered us some vinyls from his huge collection when we left. I really recommend it If you are a music lover.
