Christopher De Spiegeleire
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.
Manifesto
- [00:00]
We believe craft beats hype.
- [01:16]
We believe a great tutor saves you years of trial and error.
- [02:32]
We believe a sound is something you discover, not download.
- [03:48]
We believe small groups produce big artists.
DECK AOur 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.
DECK BOur 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.
What makes us different
Everything revolves around the student
PAD 01Max 4 students
Deliberately small, so every minute counts and every mix gets feedback from a tutor who knows your level.
PAD 02Active artists
Tutors who still play, still release, still tour. Coaching grounded in this week's reality, not last decade's.
PAD 03Pro gear, real rooms
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.
PAD 04From bedroom to mainstage
Learning to mix is just the start. At the end of block 2 we coach you through your first set in a real club.
