About
An academy built by artists, for artists in the making.
— 01 / Our story
The DJ Producer Academy was founded by two active artists who wanted to pass on years of experience to a new generation. What started as informal coaching in their own studios grew into a structured programme at Full Monty Studio in Lievegem, with club-standard gear and a strong focus on personal development. We're small on purpose: personal attention isn't a marketing claim, it's how we work.

— 02 / Manifesto
— 03 / Our mission
Give anyone with a passion for music the tools, techniques and mindset to develop into an independent DJ or producer. We blend theory and practice and build a community where students inspire each other, exchange feedback and grow together.
— 04 / Our vision
We position ourselves as a professional, forward-looking trainer with a clear vision on growth and quality within the Belgian scene. That's why we don't focus on short-term tricks but on lasting skills, critical listening and creative craftsmanship that carries an entire career.
— 05 / What makes us different
Deliberately small, so every minute counts and every mix gets feedback from a tutor who knows your level.
Tutors who still play, still release, still tour. Coaching grounded in this week's reality, not last decade's.
Two Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a DJM-A9 mixer, the same setup you'll find in a club. All lessons take place at Full Monty Studio in Lievegem.
Learning to mix is just the start. At the end of block 2 we coach you through your first set in a real club.
