Been in the mentorship for around a year now and it’s completely changed how I approach making music. I’ve played music most of my life, did some formal study too, but nothing has helped my production like DNB Academy. Seriously, I'm just glad this program exists. 10/10. Since day 1 I've felt like my coach Noopy and the rest of the team cares about my music and my results. I can’t wait to link up with everyone at Basscamp next month. If you’re serious about learning drum & bass, this is a no‑brainer.

I'm only 2/3 of the way through with the mentorship program and since joining DNB Academy I can already hear my music coming together faster, with more clarity, and headed towards a professional level. Every mentorship session I learn something new. We've covered everything from sound design, through mixing, and mastering is coming up soon. While their instruction and walk through videos are amazing, I've made significantly more progress with their mentorship program. One on one session and, almost, daily group sessions where professional drum and bass artists walk you through their process. My favorite group sessions are the feedback. I don't always have a track to share, but it's inspiring to hear the work the rest of the mentorship students are working on. I would highly recommend DNB Academy to anyone looking to take their drum and bass to the next level.

The 1-on-1 sessions were focused precisely on the main aspects that my music was lacking. This helped me to create a solid work flow, develop techniques that are relevant for the style of music I want to make and gain confidence in my own actions, instead of endlessly going through tutorials. The group sessions are very helpful for getting inspiration about new techniques by seeing how professional producers go around making their music. Lastly, the discord channel is an endless source of positivity and hype around dnb. It really helps me to stay motivated and excited about making music, since I do not have any producer friends in real life.

The hands on approach to learning drum and bass production is so effective. As somebody with pretty severe ADHD I have troubles watching tutorial videos to level up, but in the DNB Academy getting live feedback for my tracks has been a massive help for my production. The live zoom calls are super informative and the community built around it has been extremely supportive. All those questions I had about sound design are being answered in a highly constructive as well as friendly manner. Can't recommend enough!

DNB Academy is the perfect place to go if you truly want to level up your production, mixing, and mastering skills in all things drum and bass. Whether you're into jungle, neuro, minimal, or just want to be part of a passionate and supportive community that genuinely cares about the craft, this is the place to be. Even though I’ve only been part of the Academy for about three weeks, my tracks and understanding of the production process have improved drastically. I’m now able to build drums from scratch that feel uniquely mine and create tracks that flow and stay engaging from start to finish. And the best part? I’ve only scratched the surface. There’s still so much more to learn—from mastering the finer details of production to understanding the industry itself, growing your fan base, and building a solid reputation. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their DnB journey!

I'd been "producing" for about 6 months before I signed up to the academy. I was just getting stuck in loops and had no sense of what I was up to really, just going off all the conflicting tutorials I could find. Joining the academy was the best move I could have made. The mentorship program is unreal. My one to one sessions with noopy have been like a light bulb switched on for me. He breaks things down in such a clear and concise way that helps you understand how and why to do things. After just a few sessions, no joke, my production improves 100 times!! His technicality in production is insane. You also have all the feedback sessions with other mentors which are just amazing for helping you move tracks along. There's always someone ready to help and guide. The coursework and videos are so detailed and really help with learning to work and think like a pro!! I feel so blessed to be part of the amazing community that is dnb academy!! I'm so glad I made the jump, I'm a few months in and already got a release coming on a small label!! You really do get put what you put into this course and they offer so much. To anyone thinking about wether the mentorship program is worth it or not ..... I'd say dont even hesitate!!

I did my 1-on-1 mentorship with Jon and honestly, it was a game changer. The amount I learnt in just a few sessions was insane — not just technical production techniques but also how to think like a professional artist. Jon broke things down in ways that finally clicked for me after years of trial and error. The coursework and theory side of DnB Academy is incredibly valuable. It deepens your understanding and gives you the tools to apply your creativity with confidence and control. Big thanks to everyone at DnB Academy — I’m genuinely grateful. You’ve created something special and it’s helping artists like me finally break through. Highly recommend to anyone serious about producing drum and bass.

I initially purchased the Molecular producer course. Fount the quality to be top notch and enjoyed how much content was packed into it. Ended up getting the full version of DNB Foundations with all of the bonus content. Its so much content I won't need another resource for a very long time. Happy with the content and the customer service I've gotten from DNB Academy.
