To get warmed up for this week, I went to a bar near Angel called The Chapel, which hosts every Monday night free DJ lessons.

When I walked in, about 25 people were huddled around the DJ booth, introducing themselves and sharing their dance music inclinations. According to Roland, the affable teacher, this was double the regular turnout.

To accommodate this sudden influx of newbies, the regulars had to step aside and patiently wait for the introductory lesson to end. Unfortunately for them, only a few got the chance to spin as the primer lasted until 11.30pm. It was time for many to catch the last train home.

Here’s a short clip I took with a student spinning at the back:
