In DJing, the rule of 32 describes the standard musical structure of electronic music.

Phrases group beats together so listeners feel a sense of progression and resolution.

• Most dance tracks use 8-bar phrases, meaning 32 beats at a time in 4/4 time.
• Major changes like drops, breakdowns, and new elements usually happen every 32 beats.
• Mixing on the first beat of a new phrase creates seamless, professional-sounding transitions.

Counting in 32s helps you predict when tracks will change and time your mixes perfectly.

DJ lessons in South Croydon typically cost about £30/h per hour.

Your final cost depends on a few key considerations.

• Whether you are starting from scratch or refining existing skills
• The tutor's experience, qualifications, and professional background
• Lesson duration and how frequently you want to practise
• The format you choose: online, at the tutor's studio, or in your home

Booking multiple lessons upfront often reduces the hourly cost. Remote lessons offer flexibility and can be easier on your budget. A first trial lesson is often free or discounted so you can assess the fit.

If you play at clubs, bars, or venues that already hold a PRS licence, you are covered.

• Most professional venues already pay for the right to host live and recorded music.
• Mobile DJs playing at unlicensed venues may need to arrange their own PRS licence.
• You can apply for a Limited Online Music Licence if you stream DJ sets publicly.

Always confirm with the venue whether their licence covers your performance before the gig.
