Techno scene is on the rise!

The electronic music scene is growing rapidly in India, especially in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Every weekend, talented new DJs step into clubs to make crowds move. But long before that moment, aspiring artists often face a frustrating question:

“Where do I even start?”

In a recent poll we ran for TakeOver Music Academy, hundreds of future DJs told us what’s holding them back:

• Lack of access to professional gear
• No mentorship or structured guidance
• No time to commit alongside school/work
• No real connection to the local scene

These barriers are not just logistical; they prevent talented artists from ever stepping into the booth.

The Gear Access Problem

Many beginners start on entry-level controllers, which is an understandable first step.
But the transition to club-standard gear (like Pioneer CDJ setups) is so drastic that it slows confidence and growth.

Real performance experience requires:

• Familiarity with club hardware
• Professional workflows
• High-level audio output

Without access to the right tools, the journey takes longer and often ends too early.

Why YouTube Isn’t Enough

Online tutorials are great to get started and every DJ uses them.
But they cannot replace the insights gained from:

• Real-time feedback
• Set structuring guidance
• Artistic identity development
• Scene understanding and career navigation

Technique is step one.
Translation to a live audience is the real exam.

The Missing Link: The Scene Itself

The truth is…
DJing is a culture, not a classroom subject.

Without:

• Access to clubs
• Interaction with promoters
• Backstage learning
• Performance opportunities

an artist may remain “technically skilled” but never get booked.

Mentorship and network access are often the biggest unlocks.
