The Sound Lab Academy is the education program of Before & After Sound Lab

We do not follow where music is going. We teach you how to take it there.

01

The Room

Infrastructure

The exact CDJ-3000s, DJM-A9 and DJM-V10 we run at real events, plus Ableton and Push 3 for production, on a VOID Acoustics system you feel in your chest. Club standard from session one.

02

The Artists

Cultural edge

Instructors with residencies, Beatport releases, and label affiliations. Cultural fluency that only comes from being genuinely inside the music.

03

The Process

The only partner you need

Technique first, style second, momentum always. Whether you are behind the decks or building a track, we record every session so you can hear yourself grow.
