ABOUT US

Welcome to Off Centre DJ School. We are downtown Toronto's most unique boutique DJ & Electronic music education facility and we pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge of musical creation and technology. Having said that, where DJ & Producer culture often goes astray is when it chases the latest greatest without a regard for the foundation that elevated it. This is exactly why you'll see shelves of vinyl as a constant fixture at the school. We believe it's the relationship between the past and present that will create the best future and these are exactly the ideas that we try to foreground in our classes. 

Our mandate is simple: have fun with records and electronics! We strive to find new ways to teach and creatively express ourselves by playing with sound. This means that all of our instructors are pursuing artistic goals and sharing those past and present experiences with the many students that become part of the OCDJ family. We get to know everyone personally because we keep our classes small. Our studio is literally a house of sound and we very much implement the theme of home into our teaching philosophy. So, come in, kick your shoes off and enjoy exploring the art of DJing, scratching, and/or producing in a learning environment that we hope you'll find as comfortable, open, and expansive as home.
