I've been producing electronic music for over 13 years, but I can't compare the progress I made in the first 12 to one year of intense studying with DnB academy. I was mentored by Jon Tho and he brought my music to a professional level.

My experience on the DNB Academy was amazing! My personal mentor Jon was very knowledgeable and great to work with. I learned so many things I didn’t know and released my song ‘Slipping Away’ with confidence by the end of the course.

Everyone was extremely welcoming, understanding and friendly! I've been on the course for nearly a year now and i'm starting to think it was the best decision i ever made. I've always loved music, all sorts but none as much as drum and bass. Bass design and learning how to create art in a daw is something i never thought i could do and my tutor Noopy who uses the same DAW as me (Logic), helped me to understand all the parts i didn't understand before. All the tutors have been amazing in helping me progress my sound design and song structure skill. I originally went into this with a music performance degree and i already had some music knowledge but computers weren't my specialty and after a year i'm having the most fun i've ever had making music. I get to hear unreleased music from other drum and bass students, i can show my own work and get valuable feedback and professional second opinions hearing critique on my own tunes and others which helped me learn the language of production. I look forward to seeing what i can do with all this new knowledge as my life continues as the learning is still ongoing. But i am absolutely loving it! DNB Academy will always hold a good place in my heart <3

I’m a total beginner in music production, doing the mentorship program, and I’m really enjoying it so far. Even with no previous experience, I’m very happy with my progression and what I’m learning. Apart from the videos and guidance from my mentor, I’ve been spending hours studying on my own because I just love the process. Noopy explains everything so well, and the tailored lessons fit my needs and current knowledge perfectly. I'm really enjoying the ride and can't wait to see where this journey takes me!

Basscamp 2026 was an amazing experience. One of the biggest benefits of DNB Academy for me is having access to mentors who are always willing to help. So often I’ve spent hours searching for answers on my own, only to get a clear explanation from a mentor in a few minutes. That alone has saved me so much time and helped me improve much faster. The community is also a huge part of what makes it special. Being surrounded by motivated producers who genuinely support each other keeps me inspired and focused. I’ve made great friends, valuable connections, and learned a lot from both the mentors and other students. Basscamp was the perfect opportunity to take that even further. A whole week of learning, sharing ideas, collaborating, and talking about music with talented people from around the world was incredibly inspiring. Since joining DNB Academy, I feel more motivated, more confident, and much more fulfilled as an artist. I’m excited to keep growing and see where this journey takes me.

I have now completed my mentorship program about a year ago. I managed to schedule my 1-2-1 sessions with my mentor to match my availability ( every 2 weeks on average) The use of an online calendar makes it very flexible and my mentor (Jon) is highly skilled. Even though the 1-2-1 mentorship is finished, I still have full access to the tutorial videos and the daily Zoom group sessions. During those sessions there is always something to learn from the mentor or the other students. As a result of this program I managed to release 4 tunes. I have recently attended the yearly event called “Bass Camp”. It is a gathering of students from all over the world together the mentors in a very cool location, for a whole week. This event brings music production together with the human connection and well being. This was the perfect alchemy for 5 days. Strongly recommend. Overall, I am really satisfied with the course. If you dedicate time and commit to fire up your laptop on a daily basis then DNB Academy will provide you the tools and knowledge to succeed.

I have been in the DnB Academy for 2 years now, from the mentorship, to their genuine active community, and without a doubt, has taken me in the direction that I always wanted to take and sound. Even the people around me at my local Scene has noticed clearly my evolution and Progress. DnB Academy will DEFINITELY help you out to design the Road Map that fits to your needs of progress and evolution. Without them, i will be still lost committing the same “mistakes” in a very slow progress.

This is my 3rd year of DNB Academy and I’ve had 5 label releases. My music is being played worldwide now. 181,000 streams last year with healthy repeat monthly listeners. Not bad for a newcomer! None of this would have happened without DNB Academy. Before this, I tried every other program, course, YouTube video etc and for a genre as technical as drum and bass, there is no better option. And I don’t think anything can compare. This is run by producers who are established and know the industry. They even connected me with labels! I’ve had a stellar experience and apart from the education, the community is bloody amazing. If you are really serious about production, don’t think twice. Go for it! I can’t thank the folks at the academy enough.
