Deep dives
Launch of the Drum and Bass Course
A new drum and bass course has been launched, consisting of beginner and pro levels bundled together. This initiative responds to a lack of educational resources for aspiring DJs in the genre, as previous offerings were limited. The course aims to cater to the unique approach required for learning drum and bass, which differs significantly from mixing other genres like house music. Feedback on the course has been positive, and promotional content including tutorials and sample mixes has been made available to engage new students.

Access to the 'Artist Village' reveals a luxurious environment filled with top-caliber amenities such as gourmet food options and free beverages. The atmosphere encourages DJs to network and connect before their performances, emphasizing the festival's strong community spirit. Meeting familiar faces, including aspiring DJs who previously took courses, demonstrates the connections made through shared passions and experiences in the music industry.
Backstage Insights and Artist Interactions
Life as a DJ at a festival like Tomorrowland encompasses much more than just performing; it also involves valuable networking opportunities. The experience includes watching sets by various artists and observing their unique approaches to engaging with the crowd. While backstage, a sense of camaraderie is evident as artists mingle in a relaxed atmosphere, fostering relationships that could lead to future collaborations. The focus on mutual support rather than competition creates a more welcoming environment, with artists excited to see and celebrate each other’s successes.
Technical Aspects and DJ Set Preparation
Technical arrangements at Tomorrowland showcase a well-oiled system where transitions between DJ sets are executed seamlessly. Each DJ has the option to use various equipment setups, allowing them to personalize their performances, while many create special edits for the event. Preparation often involves DJs adjusting their setlists on-the-fly based on the energy of the crowd, responding to changes in atmosphere during their performances.
