"It can be a difficult thing to keep your tech skills on par with your creative vision. Without the luxury of a studio engineer to bail you out when the going gets technical, most producers can find themselves at one point or another in a stump.
"DubSpot.... offers a variety of classes ranging in subjects like mixing, scratching, and even video and visual training. 'DJing is one of those things, it becomes your life,' said DubSpot DJ Neil Armstrong."
"It's a school with classes like no other. There is now a school in New York teaching people how to be a DJ -- and it seems to be really catching on. Sometimes you may hear music spill out onto West 14th Street. Other times you may hear music coming from a DJ in training.
"
"The school's special events director says some companies have even used learning to DJ as team
building tool.
'It's just a really fun exercise that you can kind of step away from what your regular work would be...'

"The school-small but sleek, brimming with decks, computers, keyboards and the various high-tech gear needed for music production- already boasts almost 150 pupils. "We take on all kinds of students," Giove says.

"New classes start next week, when novice spinderellas and iPod jockeys are groomed alongside suit-and-tie hobbyists and tech geeks, using cutting-edge gear (Pioneer, Technics, Serato) and expert software (Ableton Live, Pro Tools, and Logic Pro)." 
"The classes are very hands on, structured kind of like a science lab in high school: the teacher
demonstrates the technique, and each student works on his own turntable set-up.... students do get a nice glimpse of what it's like to work
the room, rather than just work it on the floor."

"...for New Yorkers to trade in their textbooks for turntables. With the latest techniques, equipment and software at the student's disposal, anyone from a 10-year old prodigy to an under- sexed- soccer mom can hone their mixing/ recording/ producing skillz."
