The environment

Real rooms, real equipment.

Real rooms, real equipment.

Pioneer CDJs, Ableton and analogue gear inside a working studio — not a classroom.

02

One-to-one. Always.

One-to-one. Always.

Never groups, never spectators. Every session is structured to a high standard.

03

Feedback with a standard.

Feedback with a standard.

Honest and direct, held to the bar the room sets — not praise for its own sake.

How it works

How sessions work — and how easy it is from Manchester.

How sessions work — and how easy it is from Manchester.

Sessions run one-to-one, in 1 or 2-hour blocks — in the studio or online. Direct trains from Manchester Piccadilly and Oxford Road reach Warrington Central in around 25 minutes, and the booth is a five-minute walk from there. The pace is yours; the standard is ours.
