Nervous System Mastery for DJs
Harness the power of Neuroscience to transform your sets.
If you want to create environments + experiences that change lives, the quickest route is science.
The nervous system controls virtually every function in our body and brain. It determines how we move, respond, heal, feel, express and behave.
As DJs, musicians and performers, the impact we seek to make on our audiences — that joy, freedom, connection and release everyone is looking for — lives in the nervous system.

Common misconceptions and popular myths about what the nervous system is, how it actually works … and how it kind of explains everything

Practical tools that elevate your DJ sets and live performances, plus when and how to use them
How to create experiences that blow crowds away and inspire feedback like “I feel like you played that set just for me,” “That was pure medicine,” “I've never danced like that before,” “I've never felt so liberated,” “I need to go home and integrate what just happened,” and “Where can I dance with you next?”
