No Shade is a club night series and DJ training programme for female and non-binary DJs based in Berlin. The idea is to help these DJs to get one foot in the music scene by reserving slots for them on each upcoming No Shade party line up. More than just a paid DJ gig with a well-known headliner, No Shade offers the opportunity of following a month-long DJ training program leading up to the performance. The training programme is focused on DJing using CDJ-2000NXS and includes live hardware and software tutorials, private practice sessions, basic music theory knowledge, useful technical knowledge as well as several mentors sharing their tips, tricks and personal experiences.
