The Practice Lab

Look farward to become really firm at DJing within our 5-week program as you practice with likeminded DJ sisters ending with a final celebration - showcasing what you’ve learned in the Lab playing your very first
DJ gig!

Welcome to The Practice Lab: our 5-week DJ beginner empowering program. This is for you who’s new to DJing and dream of stepping forward on stages (and in life) sharing your unique sound with the world! In FEM FREQ we are all about building YOU as an artist finding your unique frequency rather than just teaching you tools.

This is your opportunity to playfully take your practice serious and make a committed promise to yourself to show up and do the work. 

“With practice comes mastery” but all you need to do right now is take that first step into the unknown - the rest you can learn! 

And let’s be honest: it can be tough to actually have a dedicated practice at home, especially if you are a beginner and don’t really know your way around the controller, where to focus or for what purpose? 

Does that sound familiar? We got your back sister.
Well, how does it sound to have a committed weekly practice with likeminded women holding you accountable in an empowering, vibrant and supportive environment?

To be part of The Practice Lab it requires:
1. You have participated in one of the DJ Beginner Workshop hosted by ALBA or you have a basic understandig from elsewhere. If you haven’t yet participated find it here: The DJ Beginner Workshop.

2. You have your own equipment (controller and headphones). See what we recommend and the rental price a little further down in Requirements

Your Instructors

We know how it is to stand in your shoes. And that’s why we have developed a simple and very profound program with all the secrets we wish we had known when we first started out!


  • Founder & Instructor

    ———

    Alba has been moving many dance floors as an Ecstatic Dance- & Conscious Dance DJ. In the spring 2024 she made her debut on the Copenhagen underground scene when she played For Haus Sake at Module which led to playing BålKioskFloor'24 at Distortion Ø and Culturebox.

    “Albas sound is deep and mysterious, dark and penetrative as well as uplifting and heart-expanding mixing melodic techhouse, soulseeking organic, arabic and afrohouse with a twist of bouncy german tunes. When Alba plays it's mesmorizing and you're invited on a journey into realms of yourself you did not know of. Cus it's all about the journey.”
