Can't recommend hub16 enough. I've been learning to DJ with Sam and I've had an amazing experience. Not only is she incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about music and technology, she's the best teacher. I felt really supported and had so much fun learning. Thank you! x

Sam and the excellent team at HUB16 are the unsung heroes of electronic music in east London and beyond. I cannot say enough about the commitment and passion they have put in and engendered in others over the many years of them being in business. Through my work at NTS and also in my personal capacity as a DJ and selector I have always been so admiring of the skill and energy that Sam and crew being to teaching DJing, mixing, engineering, and all the various facets of music. Sams expertise has really helped me unlock new angles to my DJing, and the HUB16 teaching style is careful to really affirm the individual character of each selector/DJ. This is especially important for women, NB, and POC DJs in my opinion. The studio space itself is relatively DIY for now, in part because of Sams fierce commitment to the underground and independent scene, and because its a home for music in all senses of the word. Its extremely considered and welcoming. You just wont find this level of warmth at any other studio. Not to mention the passion and knowledge across a breadth of genres. Every time I speak to Sam or have a session my excitement for DJing is reignited all over again, and I really cant wait to spend more time at HUB16 over the coming months and year. Recommended a thousand times over.

I had a fantastic beginner DJ group session with Sam and 2 of my friends. It was the perfect balance of technical learning and fun participation. I was surprised at how much we were able to cover in 4 hours but I left feeling excited about the session and eager to continue with learning how to DJ. Sam is an amazing teacher and shows real passion for her craft. She also provided us with useful follow up materials.

I did an intro session with a few pals - it was amazing. Sam has created a really beautiful, comfortable space to learn and have such a great time at Hub16. I felt like we all picked up the basics, as we werent afraid to make mistakes because of the environment and Sams teaching style. If youre even the slightest bit curious about DJing I would recommend Hub16 and Sam!!!
