A DJ school in Dallas is changing the future sound of DFW nightlife.
“You name a club, and I've either held a residency there, thrown a party there or just DJed there,” he says.
Rivera, who transitioned from a drum and bass DJ to an open-format DJ, says many students at The DJ School aspire to be house, techno and electronic music DJs. The DJ School, in Room 15 of Pro Rehearsal Studios, has velvet black walls. Three decks valued at well over $10,000 sit on a center island. The components’ names and descriptions read like something found in the cockpit of a modern jet fighter: two Technics Quartz SL-1200MK2 vinyl turntables with a Pioneer DJM250MK2 two-channel mixer, a Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3 two-channel all-in-one DJ controller performance system, two Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 professional media players and a Pioneer DJ DJM-A9 DJ Mixer.
Tokens of wisdom such as how to properly wear headphones, the purpose of the headphones, how to listen to a room, what different song edits mean and their purpose and different DJ subcultures are sprinkled throughout the lesson. Enrolling at The DJ School streamlines students into a community. Each class has its own group chat where students can lean on one another. There, they reach out to instructors and their peers with questions, advice and recommendations.
Asher has grown up before Najera and Rivera’s eyes. He has taken DJ School 101 and over 20 private lessons with Najera. Now, he is an incoming high-school freshman with a DJ business and over 50 gigs under his belt. He says Najera provides students with skills that transform a set into an experience that can be applied to current audience tastes and culture.“They're living what they are teaching,” Howard says.
“Music is an extremely valuable part of the energy and intention of a [fitness] class,” the fitness instructor says. “If fitness is my life and I love music, then why not be in charge of it?”’s December 2021 cover alongside Rivera’s protégé DJ Luv Ssik. Other former students include Lady Vanity Roux, Nick Stracener, DJ Honey T and DJ RomiQ.
Labs are the school’s “secret weapon.” Najera says they are true light-bulb moments and he insists that they happen. Howard entered his lab with Najera ready to forfeit the graduation performance. He left equipped for the challenge. “[At graduation] there is nothing but love and support,” Elledge says. “It really is a spiritual experience for all of our graduates. Few nights in my life compare to graduation. It's up there with [my] wedding.”
