Spin & Scale EN FR ES

Online course for DJs and producers

From bedroom DJ/producer to a career that pays

2 min

I'm Basil, known as Arensky.

Ever wondered why the biggest DJs and producers never decided to coach beginners? Because they always had people doing a big part of the work behind them: a manager, a ghost producer, a booking agent. I'm like you. I started from zero, with nobody behind me, and I'm still the one doing everything. That's exactly why I can show you the whole road.

The identity switch

I had never touched a CDJ before my first club gig. I said yes anyway! I practiced a bit during the soundcheck, then later, when the lights went down, I played the set. Nobody noticed. That night taught me more about bookings than any tutorial.

Who it's for

Two starting points · One road

Path 1 · Start

DJ Producer
Artist Business

You want to become a DJ or producer and you don't know where to begin. You have a controller or a laptop, a few ideas, and no clue how people actually get paid for this. You'll build the foundations in the right order and skip the five years I wasted.

Path 2 · Scale

Artist Audience
Brand Revenue

You already produce or play. You've sent demos, maybe released a few tracks, maybe played a few gigs. It's not turning into a career and you don't understand why. You'll fix the business side: labels, promo, bookings and money, step by step.

The real problem

Your tracks and your DJ skills probably aren't the problem

The producers and DJs who break through are rarely the ones with the best tracks. They're the ones who learned to run this like a business: how to get signed or release on their own, how to promote without burning money, how to land gigs when nobody knows you, and how to get paid from every side of the job.

Nobody taught me that. I started as a bedroom DJ/producer with YouTube tutorials, introverted, in a country where I knew no one. I made every mistake you can make with labels, promo and bookings. Then I built a system that worked, and I've been living from music for over a decade.

Spin & Scale is that system, written down, with the templates, tools and files I still use today. Not theory. The shortcut I never had.

The money, honestly

How much DJs and producers really earn · I won't make you rich overnight

Real numbers. The cash comes from gigs and residencies first. Royalties are a long-term asset, not a starting salary. A signed track buys credibility more than money. That's the honest path, and it works.

  • One-off gig$100 $1,500+per night
  • Residency$150 $2,000+per monthper month, the steady income
  • Streaming royalties300K ≈ $1,000streams to dollarsan asset, not a salary

The beta testers

Their words · Not mine

  • It's very comprehensive, well structured, and covers pretty much everything from music production and marketing to bookings and building a sustainable career as an independent artist. Even as an artist with millions of streams, I found some valuable takeaways.

    @alexstonebay

  • It's very detailed and takes you on a journey, it's not just a training with only flat blank tips. Huge value for DJ and producers!

    @vinsmoker_

  • This learning experience was great for me. I really appreciated the focused, straight-to-the-point approach. I believe this masterclass will help me become a better artist in the future, by reminding me to pay attention to the aspects that are often forgotten: everything beyond the music itself.

Questions

DJ & producer course: your questions

I'm a complete beginner. Will I understand it?

Yes. Path 1 starts from zero: what gear you really need, how to find your sound, how to build an identity before anyone knows you. Nothing assumes you've released or played before.

I already produce and play. Will I learn anything?

I only DJ, or I only produce. Is this still for me?

Yes. I put both in one course on purpose. The artists who earn the most from this have both hats on: producing brings royalties and a name, DJing brings bookings and cash, and each one feeds the other. If a module really is not for you, skip it: everything is unlocked.

Yes, it is for you. Both are in one course on purpose: the artists who earn the most wear both hats. Take a few things from the other side, and skip what is not for you.

I don't have followers or a label.

Neither did I. The program is built around what works with no audience and no contacts, then shows you how to grow both. The contact files give you a head start I never had.

How do I get booked as a DJ?

Promoters rarely book the best mixer in the room. The Booking Engine shows you how it works, step by step: the five questions a promoter asks before saying yes, my message templates, the Top 100 clubs list, and how to name your fee once they say yes.

How much should I charge for a DJ gig?

There's no single number: it depends on where you stand and what you bring. The Booking Engine works it out with you: how to position yourself, residency or guest DJ, the fee calculator to set your floor, and how to name your fee once they say yes, so you stop playing for drinks.

How long does it take?

A few evenings of reading, and that's the easy part. Each module ends with a quick quiz and you climb the ranks as you go.

A few evenings of reading, a quick quiz per module, then applying it, which is where it actually happens.

Is it only in English?

No. The whole course is in English, French and Spanish: every module, the quizzes, the templates and the visuals. Switch language anytime in the platform.

No. Every module, quiz, template and visual is in English, French and Spanish.

Is it video or text?

Written, on a reading platform built for it. Search it, bookmark it, pick it up on your phone where you left off.

How do I get my tracks signed to a label?

A label signs a reasonable bet: a finished track that fits its sound, sent to the right person, the right way. The Music System shows you who to send your demos to and how, then plans your release with the countdown planner and the DJ and radio promo list.

How much does it cost?

The first four modules are free, no card. The full course unlocks right from the platform, with an exclusive offer when you finish the free part. One payment, lifetime access.
