Digital DJ Taster Sessions
A relaxed, friendly introduction for complete beginners. Come and have a go on professional DJ equipment, learn the basics and see if DJing is for you.
DJ Courses
Learn music. Build confidence. Meet people.
A friendly way into DJing, creativity and community.
Whether you are curious about DJing, returning to music or looking to build confidence, the sessions are designed to be welcoming, supportive and practical.
About The Courses
A relaxed place to learn and have a go.
Our DJ courses help people develop practical skills while building confidence, creativity and social connection.
For some people it’s about learning to DJ. For others it’s about getting out, meeting people, reducing isolation or rediscovering a passion for music.
Income from paid courses helps support funded places and future community projects across Unknown Macc CIC.

Take a quick look inside the DJ sessions and see the relaxed, hands-on approach we use to help people build skills and confidence.
Why It Matters
More than learning to mix.
People often join because they want to learn practical skills. What they often take away is something wider: confidence, friendship, a reason to get involved and a chance to share music with others.
The courses also help make Unknown Macc CIC more sustainable, allowing us to reinvest in funded places, community projects and the development of the Macclesfield audio tour.
What people can gain
- Practical DJ skills
- Confidence behind the decks
- Time with like-minded people
- A relaxed creative space
- A way back into music

The DJ room gives people a welcoming space to spend time on the equipment, listen, practise and have a go without pressure.
It is suitable for beginners, returners, people preparing a set, or anyone who wants extra time with the decks outside a course session.
