About Me:
Hi, I’m Mateus, also known as SZAL. I’m 27 years old and have been a DJ for 10 years and a music producer for 5. I grew up in Brazil, famous for its incredible parties, and now I live in London, touring Europe every month to perform.
About the Course:
This course covers everything from the basics of mixing to advanced techniques like transitions, effects, loops, and tricks. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of music and learn how to apply that knowledge to your DJing. Each lesson lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, and we will focus on both music theory and hands-on DJ practice. Once you reach the basic and intermediate levels, we’ll work on building a solid set, creating great playlists, and preparing for live performances.
About You:
There are no restrictions on who can become a DJ—your age, music preferences, aspirations, and background don’t matter. DJing is for everyone!
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I highly recommend Mateus as a DJ instructor for his incredible patience and professionalism. I started with no prior knowledge at all, and throughout several check-ins he was always punctual, clear, and fully committed to my learning process.
He has a very effective teaching style, taking the time to explain everything from the basics and making sure you truly understand each step. Thanks to him, I’ve been able to improve steadily and build confidence along the way.
If you’re starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, he is definitely an excellent choice. His dedication and passion for teaching truly make a differenceI can’t recommend Mateus enough! He is an amazing teacher: super patient, skilled, and passionate about music. He helped me go from knowing nothing about a controller to feeling confident behind the decks!!
I met Mateus through networking at music events, and since then he has also given me some DJ and music production lessons. He’s an incredibly talented DJ and producer with a deep understanding of electronic music, Baile Funk and the technical side of production. What makes him stand out as a teacher is his ability to explain things clearly and adapt to your level, making the learning process both fun and productive.
Mateus is passionate about music and very dedicated to helping others improve their skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn DJing or music production from someone who is both experienced and genuinely supportive.I learnt with Mateus a handful of times. He was a true gent, creative and a good listener compared to other tutors that I tried. I think if someone was to put proper time and effort with Mateus then he will give the exact same back and you can get far.
I was kind of nervous to get DJ lessons because I already knew how to mix songs but Mateus helped me take my DJing to the next level by teaching me things I didn’t even think about doing during sets. He even gave me tips about how to get booked for gigs AND IVE NOW DONE 3 PAID GIGS!! Since learning from him a month ago. I recommend him if you wanna take DJing professionally ALSO Extremely nice, polite and understanding
Mateus is truly one of the best teachers I’ve had. He taught me so much in the little time that we had. Couldn’t recommend him anymore!!!!
