ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Whether you're a newer DJ or a seasoned pro, if you're DJing digitally, you'll probably eventually need to use Rekordbox. This workshop walks through some ways to think about music organization, how to make sure your files will play on different CDJs, alternatives to iTunes/Music, and some ways to use tags, playlists, cue points, and other features to set yourself up for creativity and improvisation at the gig. We recommend this workshop for novices and intermediate-level DJs.

☆ REQUIREMENTS: No strict pre-requisites - though this will not cover the most basic aspects of getting Rekordbox set up. We'll focus on concepts like how to think about tagging and playlists, and hopefully during skillsharing time people can share their own tips and organization systems to represent a variety of methods. ☆

ABOUT THE TEACHING ARTIST:
Lychee is a Brooklyn-based DJ and writer formerly of Boston, whose dance music culture zine Spontaneous Affinity has explored topics ranging from the labor behind the scenes of your favorite party to critical examinations of gender, race, and sexuality in the culture (as well as hosting some of our favorite mixes of recent years). In addition to holding down regular appearances at Basement, Nowadays, and Bossa Nova Civic Club and DJing and working at festivals like Sustain-Release and Honcho, Lychee is part of the Antidote and Meridian event collectives, co-runs the label Unimatrix Zero, and was on the board for the Aslice Foundation.
