About

"British-American Douglas Black has spent the majority of his life abroad, and his diverse life-experiences and acute taste are reflected in his performances and events around the world, from Hong Kong to Washington, D.C., winning him the respect of industry peers and music aficionados alike.

Douglas is the founder of Electric Mirage, a musical project aimed at connecting people through music to inspire hope and freedom of expression."

That's me, according to my website. I think it's actually true, too! I teach all the skills of DJing (crowd reading, music organization, beat matching, composition, mixing (Pioneer and Traktor), and anything else related.

I have a home studio setup, and I'm happy to teach complete beginners or more seasoned DJs who are looking to learn and improve.

Everything.

Douglas is an outstanding DJ and teacher. He is a patient teacher and always encourage his student to listen to themselves and send them to the right path. He is very passionate about his music and organizes the music folder clearly. I have watched him perform and he focuses on the energy level from the beginning until the end, always rocking the dance floor. Its my honor to know him.

Highly professional work ethic, lots of passion, easy to talk to and direct. Working with Electric Mirage Music, has been such a pleasure to work with. I have grown from the experience since working with Electric Mirage Music, they are friendly and polite, just a person who loves to share and connect with people through music.
Their attitude towards DJing has helped develop areas that I have neglected as a DJ. Extremely well organized playlist that dictate the energy and flow of a track, which helps increase any DJs work flow so you don’t have to rummage through tracks to find the ‘right one’. Plays music that is connected to him but appropriate to the vibe, area and space. The key aspects of any DJ that’s playing out to any crowd. A keen eye and ear for appropriate music for a particular situation. These skills are of course developed from crowd interaction, he isn’t afraid to ask questions which allows room for more growth.
Electric Mirage Music’s ability to address specific areas of DJING is well informed and honest.
10/10 would DJ with them again.

Frequently asked questions

It's important that they are committed to music and the art and skillset of DJing for the right reasons. Students will need to come prepared with a USB of at least 50 tracks at 320kbps quality. I will talk to them about their tastes in music, what attracts them to DJing, and observe their natural inclinations. We will go from there!

I have trained under some of the most skilled DJs around the world, including Janette Slack, Matt Rudge (IXA), and Martin Reeves (Krafty Kutz). I also have quite a bit of experience in event management and marketing.

Look for someone who you can feel wants to give you the tools to learn, not to string you along piecemeal.
