Students enrolling on any of the longer classes are also eligible for a free copy of Pioneer’s Rekordbox DJ performance software, plus Native Instruments Komplete 11 with Complete DJ & Entrepreneur, totalling `66,000!

At the end of the two weeks, the students put on a live performance at SummerHouse Mumbai, showing off their new skills in the fully-kitted club. The DJ studio at TSM has since been upgraded with the latest Pioneer DJ gear. Students and Instructors from the inaugural DJ/Entrepreneur Course in Mumbai By way of new courses, Point Blank are now offering a range catered to younger students aged 8 - 14.
