Becoming a DJ in 2026 means mastering far more than smooth transitions. Today’s new artists need production chops, a clear sound and the confidence to perform in one of the world’s most competitive scenes.
That’s why so many aspiring creatives are heading to pointblank music school Ibiza, whose summer short courses offer a fast‑track introduction to DJing, music production and life inside the island’s nightlife ecosystem.
Even better, you can enjoy 20 per cent off its courses with code IBIZA26 – valid until 25 May 2026.
Get behind the decks with pointblank music school
With pointblank Ibiza's 1 & 2 week DJ/Producer courses, you can start building original tracks, train on industry‑standard Pioneer DJ kit and sharpen your performance skills at iconic venues including Café Mambo and Destino Five.
It’s energetic, fun and, for many, transformative.
But as any local will tell you, Ibiza has its own pace and its own tricks for surviving the season. To help new students settle in, pointblank Ibiza alumnus JackshouseDJ shares his top tips for staying sharp on the island.
Student survival tips: Jack’s guide to getting the most from Ibiza
Protect your ears
"Get high‑def earplugs. The clubs are loud as they're designed to hold thousands of people. If you're producing or DJing, it's important that you protect your ears."
Sunscreen isn't optional
"I've seen so many Brits fried on day one! Don't turn into an onion. The Ibiza sun hits different."
Keep your vitamins up
"Bring Berocca. We all know you’re going to be partying if you're in Ibiza. Keep those vitamins high otherwise you won't make it past day two or three!"
Pack less than you think
"You'd be surprised at how much good shopping there is here on the island. The clubs have merch and their own retail outlets."
Plan your nights in advance
"Every club has something on every night. Check schedules early so you don't miss your
favourite artists, or so you can hop between day and night parties without clashes."
The DJs of 2026 start here
pointblank Ibiza offers something no other location can: the chance to study in the heart of global dance music.
Whether you're learning to beatmatch for the first time or discovering your sound, at pointblank you'll train in a fully-equipped academy just outside Ibiza Town, taught by industry professionals, with guaranteed performance slots at established venues like Destino Five, Café Mambo, Blue Marlin and Hotel Mare Nostrum.
pointblank's long-running partnerships across the island give students a genuine foothold in the scene, while a free media pack including ten professional press shots and two Instagram reels ensures you leave ready to launch your artistic profile.
