You already know the decks. This is about the artist behind them.
This program is only open to students who have completed a Garnish DJ course at another Garnish location. Your course gave you the foundations; Barcelona is where you build a sound people recognize, sets that tell a story, and a clear plan for where your career goes next.
Your mentor is a working Barcelona DJ who plays the city's clubs, rooftops and festivals, and every session happens in a professional studio on the same gear you'll find in the booth: CDJs, Technics turntables and a range of club mixers. Join a class over two months, or go one-to-one and finish in as little as ten days - the same 24 hours either way.
Finish on a real dancefloor.*
We put on events across Barcelona all year - club showcases, rooftop sessions and outdoor day parties - and book over a thousand DJ slots a year. When your mentor says you're ready, you can be invited to play one of them.*
It's an opportunity you earn, not a ticket you buy: the slot depends on your progress, on your music suiting the event and on the calendar while you're in town. But it's what the whole program points at - and a Barcelona gig* on your bio travels a long way back home.
The city electronic music runs through.
A scene that never switches off
Clubs, beach bars, rooftops and some of the world's biggest electronic festivals - and a crowd that knows its music.
Easy from the US
Direct flights from New York, Miami, Chicago and more. US passport holders can visit for up to 90 days without a visa.
Train like a local
Your mentor plays here. You'll dig for records, hear the city's sound in the clubs and learn how a European booth works.
Built around your trip
Spend two months in the city with the class, or go one-to-one and complete the program in as little as ten days.
Three stages, in a class or one-to-one.
- 01
Artistic diagnosis
We start with an in-depth session: your technical level, your musical identity, your mixing style, your references and where you want your career to go.
- 02
Personal mentorship
Sessions in a professional studio, adapted to your progress: advanced mixing, set construction, musical storytelling, digging and curation, crowd reading and advanced hardware.
- 03
Artistic development
The part most courses never teach: your sonic identity, your aesthetic, your references and your positioning in the scene - so you leave with a clear direction, not just better transitions.

The program is open to students who have completed a Garnish DJ course at another Garnish location. It builds directly on what you learned there, so you arrive with the foundations and spend your time in Barcelona on the next level.
No - it's an opportunity, not a guarantee. When your mentor feels you're ready, you can be invited to play one of our Barcelona events. Your music needs to suit the mood of the event; we put on a lot of events, so most of the time it works out, but if you can't be flexible on genre or style it may not be a fit. And in the unlikely event that you haven't gained enough skills by the end of the program, unfortunately you won't be able to play.
It's the same 24-hour program either way. The class runs over two months and costs less, and you learn alongside other Garnish DJs. One-to-one costs 60% more and is built entirely around you, so the 24 hours can be completed in as little as ten days - the better fit if your time in Barcelona is short.
US passport holders can visit Spain for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa, which covers both formats, including the two-month class. Check the latest European entry requirements before you travel.
Yes. Your mentor teaches in English.
The gear you'll find in professional booths - CDJ players, Technics turntables and a range of club mixers - in a professional studio. Bring your own headphones and music.
The program is taught and paid for in Barcelona, so it is priced in euros. Hover over a price to see it in US dollars and other currencies at the latest exchange rate.
Accommodation isn't included, but we're happy to suggest neighborhoods that work well for getting to sessions and to the city's clubs.
* To get a spot at one of our events, your music needs to suit the mood of the event. We put on a lot of events, so most of the time it works out, but occasionally, if a DJ can't be flexible on genre or style, it may not be a fit. And in the unlikely event that a student hasn't gained enough skills by the end of the program, unfortunately they won't be able to play.
