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

A phrase is a musical section that feels complete, like a sentence in speech.

• Electronic music typically structures itself around 8 bars, or 32 beats per phrase.
• Tracks introduce new sounds, remove layers, or hit drops at 32-beat intervals.
• Starting your blend at phrase boundaries makes mixes sound natural and intentional.

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

DJ lessons in West Wickham typically cost about £25/h per hour.

This rate can vary depending on several factors.

• The complexity of what you want to learn, such as beatmatching or scratching
• Your teacher's credentials, such as industry certifications or performance history
• The length of each session and your weekly schedule
• The format you choose: online, at the tutor's studio, or in your home

Some teachers provide package deals that bring down the price per session. 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.

PRS for Music collects royalties on behalf of songwriters, composers, and publishers.

• Established clubs handle licensing so their DJs can focus on performing.
• If you DJ at private parties in unlicensed spaces, you might need separate cover.
• Streaming on platforms like Twitch or YouTube requires different licensing arrangements.

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