I currently run a mobile disco business. I have my own decks (XDJ-XZ), lights, sound system, and music library. I also work for a sound stage events company called MoSounds.

My aspirations are to move abroad as a DJ and work in the music industry. My dream is to be like Jamie Jones or Carl Cox.

I would love to become a professional DJ—obviously. As a backup, I would consider becoming a sound engineer.

I hope to achieve my goal of becoming a professional DJ by producing my own house tracks.

I want to achieve these things because I love house music and want a good career doing something I'm passionate about, while earning a living from it.

I like this song because of its fast deep house tempo and the mood and vibes it brings to the dancefloor.

The instruments used are synthesisers, kick drums, and vocals. This track is produced using software.

The vibe feels like being on holiday in Ibiza, at a club in the early hours of the morning. The mood is cool and not too heavy.

Kneecap Performance

A few months ago, Irish rap trio Kneecap performed at Glastonbury a show that will go down as one of their most memorable, not just for the music but also for the controversy surrounding their political views.

Their setlist included some of their biggest bangers, such as "H.O.O.D" and "Your Sniffer Dogs Are Shite."

Kneecap’s pro-Palestinian stance had the BBC on stringstheir performance wasn’t allowed to be broadcast live. The trio didn’t hold back, with explicit chants during the set, including one that targeted the British Prime Minister directly: “Fuck Keir Starmer.”

They were joined on stage by DJ Próvaí, who handled all the instrumentals while Móglaí Bap and Mo Chara delivered their bars with their usual fire.

A recording studio needs to be safe and clean. People should have fresh air to help them feel good. All the wires and machines must be checked to stop accidents. Wires should be kept tidy so no one trips. Chairs and desks should be comfortable so people don’t get hurt. The sound can be very loud, so sometimes ear protection is needed. There should be fire safety tools like extinguishers, and everyone should know what to do if there is an emergency. Taking breaks and talking to each other helps keep everyone happy and safe.

I Had learnt how to use the drummer loop with Chris.

Learnt that you can change the drum settings

and make multiple loops. I had turned the drum loops into a indie style track with the use of an electric guitar and a bass.

I could improve on the bass and making it more in key and synchronised.

I like this song because of its fast deep house tempo and the mood and vibes it brings to the dancefloor.

Like the other piece, the instruments used are kick drums and synthesisers. Vocals are also included.

The vibe feels like being in an underground British nightclub in the early hours of the morning — for example, Fabric.

This is standard 4/4 house music, with 4 beats in a bar.

I learnt most in Chris Pettifers lessons regarding the industry , roles in sound and lighting and the dangers of the music industry

What did I enjoy the most:

I enjoyed Ewans lessons a lot when he taught me the affects to use in my composition and how to make a simple house beat. I also enjoyed Chris Pettifers lessons regarding health and safety in the music industry
