Their main instruction space now boasts 17 student and teacher stations, each outfitted with two Vestax PDX-2000 turntables and a Vestax PMC-05ProII mixer.

This integration of Vestax technology and the Academy’s renowned teachers and instruction methods provides students with an educational foundation that accommodates all skill levels — from beginner through advanced — ensuring a firm grounding that will carry them forward into successful DJ careers.

Additionally, students from academic partners Hunter College, Manhattan Borough Community College and New York University who take continuing education DJ courses at Scratch DJ Academy will utilize the Vestax equipment setups as well.

Their equipment and technology is proven, and their people are great. Maintaining a high value proposition to our students is key to the success of our business, and Vestax gives us exactly that.”
