How Do DJ Duos Work Together? The Benefits & Pitfalls ...

As a DJ duo we bounce off each other, both in terms of energy and ideas -- it's the interaction that adds extra layers to our sets together. It's common for us to surprise one another behind the scenes and on stage. But being a duo doesn't mean losing showcasing our own unique skills and individual tracks... it just means learning to hold bad ass witchy space for one another.

Highlighting one of our epic PhDJ grads ⁠ !⁠
⁠
"I left my bones on dusty dance floors losing myself in music around the world. It took me some time to understand that I was so drawn to movement because it opened me to healing. I learned through direct experience that my body was storing years, centuries, of trauma (I come from a war-torn country and family) and that this desire to move my body was actually my survival mechanism. I know now that dancing is what made me stronger, freer, what saved me. Tasha’s somatic approach to dance and music really spoke to me.⁠
⁠
I was not interested in ’just' becoming a club DJ; I wanted to get more confident and have more guidance on “the how” of taking people on the journey of becoming more of who they are.⁠
⁠
The way Tasha curated and presented the PhDJ program and curriculum and methodology and the brilliant guest teachers created a profound learning experience for me. I loved the literature, which complemented my ongoing studies and research of the body-mind connection.⁠
⁠
I acquired and refreshed MANY DJ skills. Tasha and Meg transmit these with such ease and clarity even in the virtual space- phrase mixing, harmonic mixing, looping, building tension and my favorite- creating titrating suspense! I now approach these techniques with an awareness of how it affects the nervous system of the dancer and where it may land emotionally for them. ⁠
⁠
Through all the work I have done in PhDJ, I have become more unapologetically myself, which is also reflected in an increasingly refined musical style. I am forever grateful for discovering SO MUCH amazing dance music through the PhDJ!⁠
⁠
Meg and Tasha are a powerful teaching duo! Both have an incredible work ethic, huge generosity and presence with their students, they poured an incredible amount of research and love into every aspect of this first-time offering. I have a thing for signing for first-time courses- a sense of pioneering adventure, and trust that something great is being created – and this is exactly what unfolded."⁠

Visual representation of what we've been up to all year: spell-casting, web-weaving, skill-sharpening, sweat-praying, downloading, listening, werking, creating and adventuring HARD. ⁠
⁠
When we decided to change our name to BODY LVNGUAGE last summer, we thought it was just a simple lil rebrand. Turns out she has a spirit all her own + ain't shy about it. ⁠
⁠
is neon + fierce + femme + loud + sacred + sxy. She loves EVERYONE on + off the whole spectrum of everything, as long as you're not an a$$hole. She knows the binary is bullsht AND uplifts those whose voices + bodies are ready for more space + spotlight. ⁠

Introducing PhDJ graduate + coach Shoshana Kutner aka ⁠
⁠
She’s offers exquisitely outrageous dance parties that take people for a ride in LA, NYC & SF and abroad in France, Portugal, and Costa Rica. Her favorite thing? Turning people on with sound.⁠
⁠
🔻 How would you describe PhDJ to someone who doesn't know about it?⁠
⁠
"It’s a study in opening up your channel to music and letting the wisdom of your body bring you into union with DJing. It’s seven months of moving through your hidden fears to expose your juiciest desires. There are no barriers to what you can create in this container, and the pre-requisite is You, exactly as you are.⁠"⁠
⁠
🔻 What made you want to join PhDJ? ⁠
⁠
"I’d been dipping my baby DJ toe in the pond, but mostly I was sleeping on the gear I’d bought for myself. I needed a way in & didn’t want to go alone. After years of barely touching my decks, I found PhDJ and dove in fully.⁠
⁠
I wanted to learn how to take the magic I am in life and on the dance floor to the other side of the decks and make dance parties that baptize the body, heart and soul. "⁠
⁠
🔻 What has the experience been like for you?⁠
⁠
"It’s been a comfort and a climb. I needed this. I got to attend to my whole self in this process as I navigated a period of big transformation, with coaches who support and ignite my fire and a cohort that now feels like my closest friends."⁠
⁠
🔻 What shifts in your life have you observed from the work we've been doing in PhDJ? What's different now?⁠
⁠
"I went from not DJing at all to being really good at it. ⁠
I now see a whole world of possibilities I never would have imagined for myself. I got real with myself about so much. My communication is better and so are all of my relationships. I know my body in an entirely new way. Plus I’m intimately connected with this incredible DJ collective with a shared language and vision. "⁠

Introducing PhDJ graduate, DJ coach and founder of MVP aka !!!⁠
⁠
🔻 How would you describe PhDJ to someone who doesn't know about it?⁠
It’s a leadership initiation that uses the craft of DJing as a sneaky tool to introduce you to who you really are and change your life into one worthy of your true power. ⁠
⁠
🔻 What was the experience like for you?⁠
Experience? Is that what you want to call what I went through? Try surgery y’all. Like crack me open, find stuff that’s been in the dark for so long / that I don’t have words for because it’s in an alien language and either kill it cuz it was holding me back or ignite it for all to see. ⁠
⁠
I STARTED MY OWN DANCE NIGHT. In a new town with zero network. I built my own brand and launched something that comes straight from the center of my soul, and so many people showed up to our first party the venue owner said he’d never seen the room go off like that. ⁠
⁠
I felt as safe as one can possibly get in a course that had no intention of keeping me in my status quo. I learned to include my body in all my choices and it made everything so much easier. It feels like I have an ancient advisor with me all the time. I built beautiful relationships with folks I admire. I found my people. ⁠
⁠
⁠
🔻 What made you want to join PhDJ? What were you hoping to get out of it? ⁠
I wanted to learn why I am crying with catharsis at every single event Tasha hosts. How is she constructing an experience for a large group but it seems like it’s a formula created just for me to break through my trauma and remember how to love?⁠
⁠
I’ve been an entrepreneur for 16 years and I have never found anyone to model after except for . I wanted guidance from someone I trust to take me into a new paradigm in my work, art and life. Tasha was the only one for the job. ⁠

Introducing PhDJ graduate, DJ coach and founder of LEXX aka !!!⁠
⁠
LEXX is the sxy soft butch DJ who blows your mind and makes all the hairs on your body (wherever they may be) rise and vibrate with sound. She makes immersive ritual dances where all who've been hurt in life come howl at the moon and laugh and clown and cry and make shapes on the infinite dance floor called Earth 🌎️. ⁠
⁠
🔻 How would you describe PhDJ to someone who doesn't know about it? ⁠
It's not really a DJ school. It's an initiation. It’s a community where everyone gets you & your obsession with understanding why we're here & how we can help free each other. Where you repeatedly crack open in the most expansive ways & we’re all doing it together & we lift each other up to places we never thought we’d be brave enough to go. ⁠
⁠
It's DJ skills meets storytelling meets somatics meets the books and the community you never knew you needed but now they're here & they're definitely changing your life.⁠
⁠
🔻 What shifts in your life have you observed from the work we did in PhDJ? ⁠
I quit my job, started my own dance night and sold out the first one a week in advance. Now my party is in demand with several venues, and I'm working on collaborations with other artists to craft more sxy / somatics-informed experiences. I see myself capable of earning good money from my own talent. ⁠
⁠
Writing this a year ago would literally have made me puke with shame and imposter syndrome and panic at the impossibility of it all. The way I hold myself in the world has completely changed.⁠
⁠
🔻 What made you want to join? ⁠
When I read the website I felt like they were speaking my language. I'd been teaching myself to DJ for a couple of years, was playing at friends' house parties here and there, but I couldn't break into the pro scene. I was hoping to get learnings you can't get in the mainstream DJ schools + meaningful connection + A LOVING KICK UP THE ASS. I got all of these things and more. ⁠

If you've been feeling funky, chances are there's a buncha stuff inside itching to come out. The best ways we know to unstick the stuck + get back into a creative flow: ⁠
⁠
DANCE YOUR FACE OFF (obvs)⁠
HOLLER / SQUEEL / SING / DO GIBBERISH ⁠
POUND A PILLOW⁠
⁠.. basically anything that catalyzes what's sitting stagnant in your heart/guts/muscles and channel it through your body + voice. ⁠
⁠
It might feel weird, awkward or embarrassing at first, but we think that's a small price to pay for emotional sovereignty ;)⁠
⁠
How have you been moving your energy lately? ⁠
