Emily's Battle with Batten is now into the second phase of lessons funded by the Amber Trust.

The first phase ended with Emily recording her own DJ mix. We did this by creating a playlist of her favourite songs which are mostly movie soundtracks and pop, so they’re not designed for beat-matching.

Emily understood the need for playing the tunes in the right order, timing when to play the next tune and maintaining the flow.

Sitting next to her during this recording was a privilege I’ll never forget. Emily sings her heart out and at times it’s very powerful and emotional.

Now that she is confident with this DJ controller, we return to teaching DJ skills and mixing tunes. Watch this space!

The Cherry Tree Community Centre Youth Hub is a new facility in Beverley for young people aged 10-18. It was transformed and completed in May 2025 by the BBC’s DIY SOS: The Big Build - https://youtu.be/bYsjgGkUQgE?si=IesE8fcQAOCtn7hX

And what a great place! The young people I met, and all the staff, are full of energy. These photos are from my recent one-off visit but a longer-term project is a must!

How do you improve a DJ who has been playing for 10 years?

Find out what they can do, what they like to do, and what they’re not so good at. Then plug the gaps - like the pieces of a jigsaw.

Bradley can mix... for hours. But that’s part of the problem! When he streams, he dips into different crates and plays tunes that you might only play when you’re streaming - set fillers, tunes you probably wouldn’t play in a club.

And because Brad doesn’t get to DJ anywhere else, he has got used to mixing for 2-3 hours without a different focus. It’s a bad habit, a trap any DJ can fall into.

Break the habit! Think about why you’re playing that tune. Do you love it? Is it a ‘killer’ tune? Can you mix it in a way other DJs haven’t thought of? Can you mix for 20 minutes and create a particular vibe - energetic, moody, summertime, chilled etc?

Always ask yourself, does that sound like I want it to sound? Is that the best mix I can do with those tunes? How can I make it more interesting/exciting for me/for the listener? How do I set myself aside from all the other DJs?

Sharpen your focus, hone your skills, choose tunes with purpose, take your audience on a journey, deliver every time you play!

Another “Amazing!” project completed at Pocklington School 😃 with DJs from Germany, Saudi Arabia & Hong Kong trying DJ’ing for the first time, getting to compare a controller to media players, and even mixing on 3 decks!

It was pure murk back in February; dark mornings, rain and freezing cold temperatures. But the last session took place on a day of sunshine - a great way to end it 😎

Is Piers the first ever student in Hull to include DJ’ing as part of his GCSE Music examination? He’s certainly the first student to do so at Malet Lambert School.

My thanks to Music Lead, Kathryn Wilkinson for inviting me to facilitate Piers’ exam recordings. Let’s hope he passes!

Bradley has been DJ’ing for 10 years with cerebral palsy, and live streams on Friday nights https://www.mixcloud.com/DJ-Jonesy/ playing a selection of house music.

He’s recently decided to switch DJ tutors as his previous ‘has taken him as far as they can’, so starting next week, my challenge is to improve a DJ who can already mix solidly, in his words “for at least 3 hours” - I’ve got some ideas!
