Ready to turn your selection into a professional broadcast?

Step into our professional studios to find your unique voice as a presenter and music curator.
This is an intensive five-part project designed to give emerging DJs the technical skills, creative confidence, and industry connections to launch their own radio shows.

• Curation & Programming: Learn the art of music research, track selection, and thematic storytelling for air.
• Show Identity: Build a unique radio brand and find your authentic voice behind the mic.
• Technical DJ Mastery: Gain hands-on experience using professional DJ equipment to select and mix tracks for broadcast.
• Recording & Production: Practice recording radio segments, live mixes, and spoken content in a studio setting.

Meet the Tutor

Gaby D’Annunzio is a creative director, curator, and broadcaster working at the intersection of music, culture, and social impact. As co-founder of Open Music Lab and a founding member of Refuge Worldwide in Berlin, she has built community-focused music spaces from the ground up, conceptualising, securing funding, and launching platforms that amplify underrepresented voices. Since returning to London, she has developed music strategy and programming for Sister Midnight, Counterpoints Arts, Oxfam and Compass Collective. As a broadcaster and lifelong record collector, she brings a perspective shaped by years exploring music scenes and the cultural narratives behind them. Her work is often inspired by themes of migration and the ways these stories are expressed through sound.

Plus guests! We will also have guest tutors for some sessions who will bring their expertise.
