Axel Arigato & Rinse FM collaborate on a series of workshops for aspiring DJs

Axel Arigato’s DJ apprenticeship program returns this month with The Academy – a series of free workshops held in collaboration with Rinse FM.

Axel Arigato has linked up with Rinse FM for The Academy initiative, which aims to combat the lack of accessible routes into the music industry and provide emerging DJs with opportunities to refine their craft. The brand has championed emerging artists and music communities across a range of genres since its launch in 2014, and previously collaborated with Rinse in 2022.

Each of The Academy’s workshops will be led by Rinse residents NIKS and Amaliah, and will cover practical skills, hands-on practice and advice for navigating the industry.

The workshops will take place on Monday 10 February, Tuesday 11 February and Wednesday 12 February, from 6-9pm.

The Academy Finals will follow on Thursday 13 February, where six apprentices will have the chance to perform, with one winner’s mix to be streamed on Rinse.

Look out for more information about The Workshops, and the winning mix, from Axel Arigato and Rinse next week.
