Gear

The kit, part by part

Tap any part and it shows you the thing itself first, then one plain line on what it does.

A full professional DJ rig with four decks and a club mixer in a dark booth — A full rig — same ideas, more channels. Nothing here you haven't already met above.

Moves

What it looks like in practice

What people are actually doing when you hear these words — no jargon, just the move. Tap one to watch it happen.
