Looking to start his own breeding ground for the next superstar, the school will focus on the art of Mixing (DJ’ing 101), electronic music / in-studio production, publishing, licensing, marketing, social media, and radio.

“This is a great opportunity for me to give back to the electronic music community and to take the time to teach and mentor students who have an interest in an industry that I’ve so proudly been a part of all these years,” Oakenfold said. “For me, the chance to make a difference in the careers of budding new artists is something I’ve always wanted to do, and providing this education is truly a dream for me.” – Paul Oakenfold
