Just when you thought Bethesda couldn’t get any cooler, Beat Refinery, a DJ school modeled after NYC’s famed Scratch DJ Academy, opens its doors to teach students how to drop the beats and trip the light fantastic DJ style.

Classes take place in an all-new, tricked out room in Bethesda’s Bach to Rock music school, and classes have been designed by famous DJs who jetset around the globe dropping killa beats. Class size is small, 8-10 students, and are a manageable 90-minutes and the course runs for 6 weeks. Beginner class start with the basics: an overview of DJ theory, usage of DJ software, equipment set-up, basic beat counting/matching, etc. You can learn more details about the classes at Thrillist.com

So now it’s time to think up you’re stellar DJ pseudonym. I call DJ We<3DC. If you’re having trouble thinking of a moniker, Rum & Monkey offers a sweet DJ Name Generator. I also call “DJ ThunderCat”

This looks a lot like the story that ran in The Washington Post just a few days before you posted it. Odd?

@Callin’yourbluff Haven’t seen the Post’s write up until this morning when you so incorrectly called me a plagiarist.

After reading http://voices.washingtonpost.com/goingoutgurus/2010/04/great_djs_are_like_demigods.html I do see some similarities,, i.e. a description of the course as supplied by Beat Refinery, however the rest of both articles’ content and tone is entirely individual.
