KISS Academy Plus

Last Saturday i was at The Roundhouse in Camden, London for the KISS FM Acadmemy. There was only around 30 people who were accepted so i felt kinda privaliged. The academy is basically a day of different workshops run by the workers at KISS FM. Workshops included:

  • Presenting with Neev & Jez Welham
  • Station Sound
  • Editing
  • Basic Mixing with Justin Wilkes
  • Advanced Mixing with DJ Swerve
  • Q & A with Manny Norte
  • Production with Lord Fader of The Loose Cannons
  • Specialist show producing

There was also a suprise performance by N-Dubz, they performed I Swear, Ouch and Papa and killed it!!



Although some of the workshops such as the mixing & scratching ones were slightly basic for me it was still an experience to have people like Swerve teaching you and kinda fun to see peoples reactions when they were struggling to do a basic beat match and i straight up did it 1st try lol!
