PTDJA stands out as a truly forward-thinking institution created and curated by real industry leaders who understand what artists need to grow and succeed. The academy has built a strong and supportive community where creativity and collaboration thrive, making it an inspiring environment for both beginners and developing professionals.

One of the most impressive aspects of PTDJA is the number of opportunities it provides for artists to break through and showcase their work through activities, competitions & more.

Only catch is the UX of the platform

Hi there,

I love the content and everything you’re offering in the academy, but I’ve often feel a bit lost in it and it’s UX of the platform.

I’ve never really used thread based platform such as discord and etc. Maybe that’s why I’m having problems sometimes to navigate on it.

Such a great and well organised course…

Having been in the music business for over 30 years I feel that there is always more than you can learn. Such a great and well organised course for DJ and music productions. I would highly recommend this. Such great value too. Paul (Still-Life)

Best structured, Most Professional, and rewarding guide & community as a PRO way into the industry

Finally a hands on professional guide to become a pro in this industry.
Trusted tutors with decades of experience, a great handy platform, very well structured courses with the content so well broken down that it’s easy to take in and at own rhythm. But above all an excellent community where you don’t feel alone in your journey anymore.

Great tutorials

Great tutorials, scene knowledge and also opportunities to get eyes (and ears!) into your music and artistry.
Being able to be heard by top djs and invited to participate in events is also very important.

More than academy

I’m truly happy to have become part of this amazing community. Since joining, I’ve gained new friends, valuable knowledge, and I continue to grow and develop every single week.

This academy never stands still — it constantly evolves, introducing new opportunities and resources for aspiring DJs and community members. It creates real chances for students to grow, showcase their talent, and move confidently toward bigger goals and greater achievements.

I’m grateful to be part of such an inspiring and supportive environment.

Great experience, follow the guides and be patient

Learning some bits of history about the DJaying lore through the life experiences of the diffrent DJ teachers is great it adds to the formation.

I like also how the learning process is well escalated and guided. You need to be patient but you just know that following the guided steps will be paying off at the end.

Perfect if you’re leveling up in electronic/dance (even coming from another genre)

I joined the Academy mainly to access the mastering modules as I wanted fresh perspectives in a structured approach.

What’s been genuinely great is getting direct access to top-tier electronic music mastering engineer, producer. Hearing their way of thinking (and not just “settings”) really widens your creative options: you discover different workflows, small but powerful tricks, and tools you simply don’t bump into on your own.

Another strong point: the weekly updates/news. They regularly share useful production resources (including free plugins and Ableton-related tools). That constant flow of new tools is a real boost when you’re producing a lot and don’t want your sound palette to get stale.

On support and community: the group dynamic is positive and genuinely supportive. People help each other, give feedback, and the vibe stays constructive. I also like the balance between creativity and the business side of music — you can go deep into details when needed, but there’s also a clear philosophy and career-oriented thinking behind the program.

Personally, I’m in a phase where I’m shifting from a hip-hop background into more dance/electronic music. Having a platform like this makes that transition easier, both creatively and business-wise, because it helps you understand the approach of the ecosystem and build momentum with solid guidance.

Overall: a strong experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to grow both their production/DJ mixing skills in electronic music and their career strategy.

I am having an excellent experience

I had an excellent experience at this academy. During my time here, I learned a lot about music production, DJing, and also how to approach the market from a professional marketing perspective. The instructors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and truly professional; they constantly support students and create an environment that encourages real growth. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to develop both technically and artistically, and I genuinely feel that this journey has taken me to the next level.

Power of the community is amazing

I’ve been part of the PTDJA community since 2022 and everything is so well organised, the support, the lessons, the community itself and you can listen everything now on every stage. The production lessons as well now are something more to consider being part of the accademy. Higly reccomend it in every point.

An excellent learning platform

When I joined I was completely sceptical as I wasn't expecting an online course based website to actually help. But I was soo wrong. The PTDJA team have built such an incredible platform with properly structured courses and also they really encourage the community spirit and supporting people!

The place to be!

As a former MAT Academy Student, I can truly say that the PTDJA brought my producer skills at a superior level! The lessons are exciting and full of useful contents, as well as the special contents from the PTDJA prestigious ambassadors. It was an amazing experience, at the end of which I feel myself enriched and improved, with a lot of more confidence and knowledge.
But PTDJA is not just courses, but also a community, lots of activities, special offers, gifts, meetings with the tutors, and everything is super stimulating.
I can only recommend PTDJA for those who want to learn in a right and professional way, as well as becoming part of an amazing community full of opportunities!
