The image simply says "thank you to DJ Angelo - a great turntablist and in our opinion the clearest and best turntablism tutor on youtube.

The picture shows a Numark Mixtrack in use at DJ School UK. The text on the picture says: Thank you to @Numark - we’ve used their Mixtrack units for over 12 years and found they have the perfect balance of features, response, durability and price for education.
This is a huge "Thank You" to @phasedj whose wireless system enables scratching with real vinyl turntables without worrying about the needle jumping or skipping. Because it is so hard-wearing we can now let anyone enjoy scratching on vinyl without worrying that the needle or vinyl will get damaged.
The image shows DJ School UK working at Deershed festival in July 2025. The festival is a family friendly music and arts festival. DJ School UK used Phase DJ and Serato DJ pro so that anyone could try scratching on vinyl records, but without needing to be careful of the needle jumping. This worked because the Phase DJ system is wireless and needle-less. Truly making the activity accessible to all.
The image contains text which says: Great feedback from the mum of an ex-student here . We started with H when he was 8! It’s always good to hear how well things are going: The feedback from the mum is: “H leaves for Greece next Wednesday, he's got a residency in *****. I just wanted to thank you for teaching him his craft, his passion and creativity came from you guys giving him a safe space and respect. In a world full of challenges & educational mess for H* you encouraged him to believe in himself and that him being neurodivergent was not going to stop him. He's living out his dream now.”
For the 3rd episode of the CUMIN podcast, Raphael Travis speaks to Kiz Manley (HipHopHEALS) and Chris Jeter (school counselor, emcee, and advocate for creative expression and mindfulness) on rethinking the possibilities and potentials for contemporary popular music as a source for healing and wellness.
CUMIN is the Contemporary Urban Music for Inclusion Network, set up in 2022 with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). This series of podcasts explore themes at the heart of CUMIN, including the evaluation and measurement of impact that can arise when contemporary popular music is taken more seriously, and the potential for DJ education to become more common in schools. In this first podcast of a series Dr Pete Dale talks to Jim Reiss (DJ School UK) and Adam Bell (Leeds-based music teacher) about the benefits and challenges of using DJ Decks in educational settings.
The picture includes the text: “Young people see DJing as something they want to do, but maybe also as something they won’t be able to do, then as something they can do. This is therapeutic because it creates a different sense of self – I am doing this, I’m in control, It’s me!” From Dr Raphael Travis, Texas State University.
