Student Spotlight: DJ Alpha

Your DJ name: DJ Alpha (aka Alpha Bravo Charlie, ABCdj)

How long have you been DJing? about 18 years!

How was your Dubspot experience? My experience at DubSpot has been great! I have been DJing for quite awhile, using Denon CD players with pitch control, then Sonic Foundry Acid, then Ableton Live. I wanted to get some formal DJ training and get a chance to use different equipment. I am currently taking the DJ Extensive Package, and I love it! Both DJ Reborn and DJ OBaH have been informative and helpful. When I first started, I had never touched a turntable or CDJ. Now I am successfully beat matching and transitioning. I can’t wait to practice more, and learn some of the advanced features in Serato. I feel that what I am learning on the DubSpot equipment is helping me make better mixes in Ableton, which is a bonus!

I love Charlie’s music mixes. It’s my favorite thing to listen to when working out. I’ve even used it for parties & gotten lots of compliments from people thinking it was a professional mix or internet stream,
