Turntablism
Vinyl, scratching & blends
Mar Mikhael, Beirut · Electronic Music & DJing
Where Beirut learns to mix.
A studio for DJs and producers alike — one-to-one lessons on decks and synths, studio sessions and live sets, taught one student at a time.

The Rhythm Section (Drums & Percussion)
One signal. Then a set.
Every DJ here started with a single track. We stay with you through every drop after that.
Life at OFFGRD STUDIOS
Lessons that end in a live set, not a certificate.
Students of every age and level share one booth each term — from a first-week beginner to the DJ who closes the night.

How to start
Three steps from curious to your first set.
No audition, no prior experience. Just one lesson to see if it fits — the rest follows your pace.
01
Book a trial
Pick a time that suits you. One 45-minute lesson on the deck or DAW you're curious about — no commitment, no fee to enrol.
02
Meet your teacher
We match you to a tutor by style, level and gear — turntablism, controllers, production — so the first lesson already feels like the right one.
03
Find your rhythm
Weekly lessons, termly showcases, and a back-to-back slot in the crew when you're ready to play alongside others.
Programmes
Two paths, one booth.
Turntables and production taught side by side — many students learn both.
